Answer:
9, 11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rephrase an odd number into an algebraic equation of (2n+1)
Therefore, 3 consecutive odd numbers would be written as:
(2n+1), (2n+3), (2n+5)
We can then rewrite the question as:
3 x (2n+1) = 2 x (2n+5) + 1
Work out the equation to find n:
6n + 3 = 4n + 10 + 1
(minus 4n from both sides)
2n + 3 = 11
(minus 3 from both sides)
2n = 8
(divide both sides by 2 to get)
n = 4
To find the original 3 consecutive numbers, we just input (4) into (2n+1), (2n+3), (2n+5) to get:
(8+1), (8+3), (8+5)
= 9, 11 and 13
Two lines intersect in one point.
Difference means subtract, so we use subtraction:
*first we need to make the fractions have the same denominator
1/4 = 3/12
2/3 = 8/12
126(3/12) - 78(8/12)
*since the fraction in the first term is smaller than the second, make it improper
125(15/12) - 78(8/12)
now simply subtract:
125 - 78
= 47
15 - 8
= 7
* this is now (7/12)
now put them back together:
47(7/12)
That's the final answer!
Choice b would be correct since the slope of the line is negative !
