Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/7
(-9,6)....x1 = -9 and y1 = 6
now we sub...pay close attention to ur signs
y - 6 = 6/7(x - (-9)....not done yet
y - 6 = 6/7(x + 9) <===
The numbers are 3 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.
Also, 6x = 12 + 2x
⇒ 4x = 12
⇒ x = 3
⇒ 6x = 18
Well a percentage is basically a decimal. If we take the 20 and times it by 5,we can get a 100th of a decimal, 15/100= 0.15. Now we just change it to a percentage! 15%
