First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.
Answer: The new ratio will be 1/4
Explanation: The initial ratio of losses to wins is 3 to 2. If we sum the numer of losses and wins 3 + 2 = 5 games, that means they loss 3 out of 5 games , and they win 2 out of 5 games.
So if they had won twice as many of the games, that is 2*2=4. And since the number of games is the same ( 5 ), then they would have won 4 games and loss only 1.
So the new ratio of losses to wins will be 1 to 4, or expressed in a fraction: 1/4
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Collect all like terms and Calculate
-10x-7x= -17x
20-54= -34
Divide
-17x < -34
x>2
V = a * b * c
V = 30
a = 5
b = 2
c = ?
30 = 5*2*c
30 = 10*c
c = 30/10 = 3
c = 3
