Ethan was startled when he learned that he made the football team. He was reassured by family and friends that he would do a great job. Being cautious, Ethan was able to get his workout routines down packed with lectures from his coach. Once the games started, his level of play ascends to the point that some people had to apologize because they thought he wasn't good enough. Ethan had a few comical moments when the football tumbled during a game, but his level of low self-esteem descend because his confidence grew. He became sensible and banish all negativity.
1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

= 1 - 1
= 0
Answer:
4(x-5)=4x-20
4x-20=4x-20
+<u>20 +20</u>
4x=4x
<u>-4x </u>-4x therefore there's infinite solutions
0=0
Step-by-step explanation:
The question above is answered below.
Consecutive numbers are set of numbers that follow one another in ascending or descending order, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....
The sum of three consecutive numbers = 72
Let the unknown consecutive numbers be represented by x+1, x+2 and x+3 such that:

Remove the brackets

Collect like terms and simplify


Make 3x subject of formula by subtracting 6 from both sides


To obtain the value of x, divide through by the coefficient of x, which is 3. Hence;


Since x = 22,



The smallest of these numbers is 23.
Check,
23 + 24 + 25 = 72
