Answer:

11 13 15 17 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this word problem using 2k+1 which is one of the general forms of an odd integer.

Let 2k+1 be the first odd integer.

(2k+1) + (2k+3) + (2k +5) =  (2k+7) + (2k +9) + 3 (the +3 is to accommodate for the left side being 3 more than the right)

Solve for k

6k + 9 = 4k + 19

6k - 4k + 9 = 4k-4k + 19

2k + 9 = 19

2k + 9 - 9 = 19 - 9

2k = 10

2k/2 = 10/2

k = 5

To get the first digit in the series plug in 5 for k

2k+1

2(5) + 1

10 + 1 = 11

So our series is 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Let's test it.

11 + 13 +15 = 39

17 + 19 = 36

So we are correct, the first 3 integers are 3 more that the sum of the last 2.

Lorico [155]
X + Y + Z = 8
2x = Z - 2
X + Z = 5
X = 1
1 + Y + Z = 8
Y + Z = 6
1 + Z = 5
Z = 4
1 + Y + 4 = 8
5 + Y = 8
Y = 3
The variables are 1, 3, 4.

BaLLatris [955]

Step-by-step explanation:

Abby’s Expression:

Double m, giving 2m. She then takes 20% of the result, which we can write 0.2(2m). Finally she subtracts this from 2m, giving 2m−(0.2)2m

2m − (0.2)2m

Renato’s Expression:

Divide m by 5, giving m ÷ 5 = m/5, and then multiplies the result by 8, giving:

8(m/5)

Answer:

The perimeter is 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of SOW, what we need to do is to add all the lengths around the triangle together.

But we only have OS, we do not have OW and WS. Thus , we need to get what the values of these lengths are before we can calculate the perimeter.

Please check the attachment for complete solution.
