Let the three consecutive integers be x , x+1 ,x+2
Given, sum of three consecutive integers = -126
x +x+1+ x+2 = -126
3x +3 = -126
3x = -126 -3
3x = -129
x = -129/3
x = - 43
x +1 = -42
x +2 = -41
Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)
Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)
Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)
Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
Answer:
20 rides
Step-by-step explanation:
35-4.5=30.5
20*1.5=30 and 30 plus 4.5 equals 34.5
