The sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is 39. what are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

Suppose the first odd integer is x, the next one will be x+2, the third one will be x+4
add up these three integers, you will have 3x+6=39
3x=33
x=11
the three consecutive odd integers are 11,13,15

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

9 burritos

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 cups 12 cups

---------- = -----------------

6 burritos x burritos

Using cross products

8x = 6*12

8x = 72

Divide by 8

8x/8 =72/8

x = 9

Randolph is trying to find the equation of a line parallel to y = '1 over 4 x − 6 in slope-intercept form that passes through th

Aleksandr [31]

So remember that paralell lines have the same slope
y=1/4x-6
1/4=slope
so we set up a new equation in slope intercept form
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

y=1/4x+b

one solution si (-1,5) where x=-1 and y=5
subsitute
5=1/4(-1)+b
5=-1/4+b
add 1/4 to both sides
5+1/4=21/4=b

the answer is y=1/4x+21/4

What step gets you closer to the solution of this equation 5•(x-2)=7

viktelen [127]

You do 5 times x and -2 so you’d get 5x-10=7. Then add 10 to both sides to get 5x=17 and divide 17/5 to get 3.4

Question:

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x/x - 1 = x - 3 - 2/x

x/x - 1 = 0:

0 = x - 3 - 2/x

0 = x - 3 - 2/x is equivalent to x - 3 - 2/x = 0:

x - 3 - 2/x = 0

Bring x - 3 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x^2 - 3 x - 2)/x = 0

Multiply both sides by x:

x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x = 2

Add 9/4 to both sides:

x^2 - 3 x + 9/4 = 17/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 3/2)^2 = 17/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 3/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x - 3/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 3/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 3/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 3/2 - sqrt(17)/2
