The metric system originated in France in 1799 following the French Revolution although decimal units had been used in many other countries and cultures previously. Although there have been many different measurements and the definitions of the units have been revised, the official system of measurements of most countries is the modern form of the metric system which is known as the "International System of Units".
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive integers just means like one after another.
This means that:
First number = x
Second number = x + 1
Third number = x + 2
They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.
First number + second number + third number = 78
Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
Gather the like terms.
3x + 3 = 78
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 78-3 = 75
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 75/3 = 25
If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.
Therefore it is 25.
Second number = x + 1 = 26
Third number = x + 2 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:
Jeremiah got $65 on birthday and spent some money on 3 video games and was left with $14.
He purchased 3 video games.
Let the cost one one video game be v.
The cost of each video game is same
So the cost of 3 video games is 3v.
Also he is left with $14 after paying for three games.
Hence
3v + 14 = 65
Subtracting 14 from both sides
3v + 14 -14 = 65-14
3v = 51
Dividing by 3 on both sides
v = 51/3
v = 17
Hence the cost of each video game is $17
