Oldest = 2x
Middle = x + 5
Youngest = x
2x + x + 5 + x = 57
combine like terms
4x + 5 = 57
subtract 5 from both sides
4x = 52
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x = 13
Oldest = 2x = 2(13) = 26
Middle = x + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Youngest = x = 13
Answer:
n = the first
n + 1 = the 2nd
n + 2 = the 3rd
n(n + 2) - (n + 1) = 10(n + 2) + 1
n2 + 2n - n - 1 = 10n + 20 + 1
n2 - 9n - 22 = 0
(n - 11)(n + 2) = 0
If two factors = 0, at least one must = 0.
n - 11 = 0
n = 11
11,12,13
n + 2 = 0
n = -2
-2,-1,0
Answer:
B) y=2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter should be 11, since 33 divided by 3 is eleven.
