If you are trying to find the equation to this problem, I am pretty sure that it is 2x + x + 4 = 25.

First we must assign variables to the integers.

x = smallest
y = middle
z = largest

x + 7z = 68    ← This equation represents the given information
 
We can assume that "z" is less than 11 because 7*11 = 77, which is greater than 68.

Our possible consecutive odd integers could be:

a) 1, 3, 5
b) 3, 5, 7
c) 5,7, 9

Lets to plug in the "x" and "z" values

a) 1 + 7(5) = 1+ 35 = 36       This is incorrect, because 36 ≠ 68

b) 3 + 7(7) = 3 + 49 = 52      This is incorrect as well, because 52 ≠ 68

That leaves our final choice. Let's check to be certain

c) 5 + 7(9) = 5 + 63 = 68

5, 7, 9 is the 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of the smallest and 7 times the largest is 68.

Explanation:

You can check your answer by making sure that each of the primes you found is actually a prime. (Compare to a list of known primes, for example.) After you have determined your factors are primes, multiply them together to see if the result is 73. If so, you have found the correct prime factorization.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

73 is prime, so its prime factor is 73.

  73 = 73

Rapper DaBaby drove at a speed of 45 mph in front of Coosa High School on his way home from North Carolina. What was his speed i
NeTakaya
To find the answer, set up an equation:
\frac{45 \: miles}{1 \: hour}  \times  \frac{1000 \: meters}{1 \: mile}  \times  \frac{1 \: hour}{3600 \: seconds}  =
Using this set up we can cross out the units that are on opposite sides of the proportion such as miles and hours, leaving us with the desired units of meters and seconds. Then calculate m/s by multiplying 45 by 1000 meters and then dividing that value by 3600 seconds.

The resulting answer is 45mph = 12.5 m/s
