The Sum Of 3 Consecutive integers is 138, What Are The Integers?

Mathematics

Let's call the consecutive integers a, a+1, and a+2.
they add up to 138: a+(a+1)+(a+2)=3a+3=138
now you have an equation: 3a+3=138
subtract 3 from both sides: 3a=135
divide both sides by 3: a=45
so the consecutive integers are 45, 46, and 47

If the integers were all the same, then each one would be 1/3 of 138 = 46 .

They're not all the same, but they're consecutive, so you can find them easily.
Just start with your 3 copies of 46, take ' 1' away from one copy, and add it
to another one. You haven't changed their sum. You just made one of your
copies 1 less than 46, and you made another one of them 1 more than 46. 
Now you have 45, 46, and 47, and that sure looks like an answer to me.
Isn't that easy ... you only had to use some brain instead of a lot of messy
algebra.  That's what 'Brainly' might be all about, I guess.

nevsk [136]
We can set it up like this:
\frac{2}{9}\cdot \frac{9}{5}
Multiply straight...
=\frac{2\cdot \:9}{9\cdot \:5}
Simplify...
=\frac{2}{5}
That's our answer, we can also convert it to decimal.

Answer in fraction form: =\frac{2}{5}
Answer in decimal form: 0.4

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.

The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.

  y = 2x +7

  y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x

These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.

__

The second set can be written in standard form.

  y +4x = -5

  y +4x = -10

These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.

__

The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.

I'd say centimeters, if that's what you're looking for. Maybe 1-2 cm.
