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.

Wo numbers are in the ratio of 2 to 3. If the smaller number is 18, the larger number is
Zarrin [17]
The simplified ratio is 2:3. Since the smaller number when it's not simplified is 18, let's divide 18 by 2 to get our factor.
18/2 = 9.
So we can multiply 9 by 3 to get the missing larger number.
9 x 3 = 27.
Your missing number is 27, hope this helps!

Write the equation of the line that has a slope of m=3 and passes through (4 , 2)
mina [271]

Answer:

y=3x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you would use the point slope formula, which is (y-y1)=m(x-x1). x1 and y1 are the coordinates from the ordered pair.

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

(y-2)=3(x-4)

y-2=3x-12

y=3x-10

To check, you can plug the coordinates into the equation.

y=3x-10

(2)=3(4)-10

2=12-10

2=2
