The equation of the line is y = (1/2)x + 2
Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3
y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5
So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.
You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
Less by far because 3.5 cups would be less than half
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 3
6x + 3y = -3
the substitution method means you plug one equation into the next, because the first equation gives us a solution for y we can go ahead and plug that into y of the second equation
6x + 3(-2x + 3) = -3
6x - 6x + 9 = -3
9 = -3
which is false meaning that there are no solutions and the lines don't touch at any point
