You would just replace x with 2 in the part equation and solve for it. So 3(2) - 7. This is equal to -1
The option D) x + x+2 + x+4 = 53 represents the exact equation of sum of three consecutive odd integers which is equal to 53.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The sum of the three consecutive odd integers = 53
<u>To frame the equation :</u>
- Let us consider any of the three consecutive odd integers.
- Let us take 1,3,5 as the three consecutive odd integers.
Assume the first odd integer as 'x'. In this case, (x=1)
- The second consecutive odd integer is 3.
- The difference between 1 and 3 is 2.
Therefore, the second consecutive odd integer is x+2.
- The third consecutive odd integer is 5.
- The difference between 1 and 5 is 4.
Therefore, the third consecutive odd integer is x+4.
This means that, the sum of any three consecutive odd integers are given as x + x+2 + x+4.
Given that,
Sum of the three consecutive odd integers is 53.
The first odd integer + second odd integer + third odd integer = 53
x + x+2 + x+4 = 53.
The option D) x + x+2 + x+4 = 53 represents the exact equation of sum of three consecutive odd integers which is equal to 53.
Answer
C. (5/2, -1/3)
Step by step explanation
Here we use the rational root theorem.
The possible roots are
+1, +3, +5, +15, +1/2, +3/2, +5/2, +15/2, +1/3, +5/3, +1/6 and +5/6
We have to use the synthetic division to find the correct root of this function.
Here the roots are 5/2 and -1/3
Others are not roots of this function.
Let's check x = 5/2 with synthetic division.
5/2) 6 -13 13 -39 -15
- 15 5 45 15
--------------------------
6 2 18 6 0
Similarly x = -1/3 is also root of this function.
Answer: C. (5/2, -1/3)
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 26 = -19
y + 26 - 26 = -19 + 26
y=7
