The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is one hundred fifty-nine

Mathematics
1 answer:
xeze [42]2 years ago
8 0
First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.

A country will produce 3000 missiles this year. Each of the short-range missiles cost $200000 to produce. Each of the medium-ran
Lynna [10]

Answer:

$350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

  • s: amount of short-range missiles produced
  • m: amount of medium-range missiles produced
  • l: amount of long-range missiles produced

From the total production and the ratios we can write the following equations:

s + m + l = 3000

s/m = 3/3 = 1 = m/s

s/l = 3/4 or l/s = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by s, we get:

s/s + m/s + l/s = 3000/s

1 + 1 + 4/3 = 3000/s

10/3 = 3000/s

s = 3000*3/10 = 900

m = 900

l =  4/3*900 = 1200

From the money that the countries plans to use and each missile cost, we can write the following equation:

200,000*s + 300,000*m + cost*l = 870,000,000

Replacing with previous result:

200,000*900 + 300,000*900 + cost*1200 = 870,000,000

cost = (870,000,000 - 200,000*900 - 300,000*900)/1200 = 350,000

According to the scores on the last math test, 80%, or 20, of the students in the class received an A. Find the number of studen
Sladkaya [172]
80% is the same as 4/5, so 4/5 of the class= 20. That means that if there was a picture, 4 parts would be shaded, and 1 would not. 1/4 of 20 is 5, so 1 part= 5 people. 5 x 5 = 25. 25 is the answer. :)
