The sum of three certain consecutive numbers is 240. Find the three numbers. [Hint: Let x stand for the smallest number. Since t

Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
  x = 237/3
  x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79

Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80

the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81

ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81

The table below shows randy breuers height in inches leading into his teen years. The graph below displays a scatter plot of the
-Dominant- [34]
The least-square regression line has a slope of:

m=(nΣxy-ΣyΣx)/(nΣx²-ΣxΣx)

and a y-intercept of:

b=(Σy-mΣx)/n

In this case: n=7, Σxy=4899, Σy=391, Σx=85, Σx²=1153 so

m=(7(4899)-391*85)/(7(1153)-85*85))=1058/846

b=(391*846-85*1058)/(7*846)=34408/846

So the line of best fit is:

y=(1058x+34408)/846  and if we approximated this as your answers see to have done....

y=1.25x+40.67
