What is the sum of 3 consecutive integers of 87

Hey there! Hello!

So, to set this problem up, all you need to do is imagine that the smallest number of these consecutive integers is x. The next two numbers will be x+1, then x+2, and that, altogether, will equal 87. In a problem, this will look like this:

x+x+1+x+2=87

All we need to do is solve for x! We can simplify the problem by combining like terms:

x+x+x+1+2=3x+3=87
3x+3-3=87-3
3x/3=84/3
x=28

Now that we know what x is, we can plug it into our original problem:

x+x+1+x+2 = 28+29+30=87

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, 1/5 is equal to 20%. If you're diving something into 5ths, you can do 100 / 5, which is 20. So you know that Raul scored at least 20% of the points. His friend Jake ALSO scores 20% of the teams points, making 20 + 20 = 40%. Therefore, 40% of the teams points were scored by Raul and Jake.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

More than anything else, Algebra is a procedure. It has rules and axioms which when followed produce answers to problems -- problems that may not yield anything without Algebra.

These axioms and rules are familiar to anyone who has taken a course in advanced Mathematics. So each person who knows the procedure knows also how mathematics can work. It is a universal language spoken by those trained in what it offers to the education of both the "sender" and the "receiver."
