Answer:

12, 13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive numbers means three numbers in a row, so if n is the first number, the second number is one more than  n (which is n+1) and the third number is one more than that (which is n+2)

So three times (3 x) the first number (n) is equal to (=) nine more than (9 +) the sum of the other two ( (n+1) + (n+2) )

3 times n can be written as 3n

So 3n = 9 + (n+1) + (n+2)

3n = 9 + n + 1 + n + 2

3n = 9 + 1 + 2 + n + n

3n = 12 + 2n

Subtract 2n from each side

3n - 2n = 12 + 2n - 2n

1n = 12

n = 12

So the first number is 12, the second number is 12 + 1 (13) and the third number is 12 + 2 (14)

The numbers are 12, 13, 14

Hope this helps :)

Max and Sasha exercise a total of 20 hours each week. Max exercises 15 hours less than 4 times the
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Max exercises 13 hours a week, and Sasha 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours each of them exercises during the week, we solve the system of equations.

In the second equation:

x = 4y - 15

Replacing in the first equation:

x + y = 20

4y - 15 + y = 20

5y = 35

y = \frac{35}{5}

y = 7

So Sasha exercises 7 hours per week.

Max:

x + y = 20

x + 7 = 20

x = 13

Max exercises 13 hours a week.
