let "a number" = x

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

Simplify. Combine like terms

3x + 3 = 72

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

3x + 3 (-3) = 72 (-3)

3x = 72 - 3

3x =  69

3x/3 = 69/3

x = 69/3

x = 23

23 is the smallest number

hope this helps

x , x+1, x+2

then  your sum would be   x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 72

so now just add em up

3x + 3 = 72

x = 69 / 3

x = 23

Hope this helps!

Suppose vanilla beans cost $600 per kilogram. Julie bought 9 grams of vanilla beans. Jacques bought 70 grams of vanilla beans.
GenaCL600 [577]
The Correct option is 36.60
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to solving this question lies
around measurement
conversion,specifically converting
grams into its equivalence in
kilograms.
1000 grams equal one kilogram
9 grams=9/1000 kg
9 grams=0.009 kg
70 grams=70/1000 kg 1000 grams equal one kilogram
9 grams=9/1000 kg
9 grams=0.009 kg
70 grams=70/1000 kg
70 grams=0.07 kg
Julie pays=$600*0.009=$5.4
Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42
Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-
$5.4) than Julie paid
Option is wrong because that was Jacques pays=$600*0.07=$42
Jacques pays $36.60 more ($42-
$5.4) than Julie paid
Option is wrong because that was
what Julie paid
Option D is wrong because that was
what Jacques paid
Option B is obviously wrong
