Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.
Answer:
When you read a sentence, you may first look for the subject or what the sentence is about. The subject usually appears at the beginning of a sentence as a noun or a pronoun. A noun is a word that identifies a person, place, thing, or idea. A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. Common pronouns are I, he, she, it, you, they, and we. In the following sentences, the subject is underlined once.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will often read a sentence that has more than one noun or pronoun in it. You may encounter a group of words that includes a preposition with a noun or a pronoun. Prepositions connect a noun, pronoun, or verb to another word that describes or modifies that noun, pronoun, or verb. Common prepositions include in, on, under, near, by, with, and about. A group of words that begin with a preposition is called a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and modifies or describes a word. It cannot act as the subject of a sentence. The following circled phrases are examples of prepositional phrases.
19. What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ. If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.
x-5+5x-12=25 First, combine your like terms. You will end up with 6x-17=25. Add the opposite of -17 to both sides. 6x = 42 Divide both sides by 6. x = 7. Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2
20. (5x-6)/2 = x+6 Multiply each side by 2. 5x-6 = 2x +12 Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well. 3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3. x=6 To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2. This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.
21. On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units. If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4. The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.
23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x. Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x. Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2. If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8
3m - 5p = 12
3m(-3m) -5p = (-3m)+ 12
-5p = -3m + 12
(-5)/-5p = (-5)/ (-3m + 12)
p = 3/5m + 12/-5
