Supposing that the integers are x, y and z, and that their average is 8, then

x+y+z
-------- = 8, or x + y + z = 24.
    3

Let's experiment.    Making up a table, we get:

x   y   z   sum (sum MUST be 24)
5  9  10    24
4  9   11    24
3  10  11   24
2   11 11    24
1   11  12   24
1   10  13   24
1    1   22   24

Can't choose integers smaller than 1, so it appears that 22 is the largest possible integer that could be one of x, y and z.

Which expression is equivalent to 4 over 9 (2n - 3)
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The result for this equation is \frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3} .

Step-by-step explanation:

-Solve:

\frac{4}{9} (2n-3)

-Multiply 2n and -3 by \frac{4}{9} :

\frac{8}{9} + \frac{-12}{9}

-Reduce \frac{-12}{9} to the lowest term by extracting and canceling out 3:

\frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3}

-So, the result is \frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3} .

Find the intersection point between the lines of equations:<br><br>2x-y+6=0 and 2x+3y-6=0 ​
Ugo [173]

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equation will intersect each other at the point which will be the solution of the given two equations , and the given equations are ,

\implies 2x -y +6=0\\\\\implies 2x + 3y -6=0

On subtracting the given equations we have,

\implies -y - 3y +6 -(-6) = 0 \\\\\implies -4y = -12 \\\\\implies y = -12/-4\\\\\implies y = 3

Put this value in any equation , we have ,

\implies 2x -3 +6 =0\\\\\implies 2x = -3 \\\\\implies x =\dfrac{-3}{2} \\\\\implies x =-1.5

Hence the lines will Intersect at ,

\implies\underline{\underline{ Point=(-1.5, 3)}}
