Answer: It is only the 3rd equation that is a good example to Jeremy's argument. Others are counter examples to Jeremy's argument.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider the general linear equation
Y = MX + C
On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 1) and (2, 0).
Slope = ( 0 - -1)/( 2- 0) = 1/2
When x = 0, Y = -1
Substitutes both into general linear equation
-1 = 1/2(0) + C
C = -1
The equations for the coordinate is therefore
Y = 1/2X - 1
Let's check the equations one after the other
y = negative one-half x minus 1
Y = -1/2X - 1
y = negative one-half x + 1
Y = -1/2X + 1
y = one-half x minus 1
Y = 1/2X - 1
y = one-half x + 1
Y = 1/2X + 1
It is only the 3rd equation that is a good example to Jeremy's argument. Others are counter examples to Jeremy's argument.
You can just use a calculator but when you add the numbers all together you get 323
The reasonable answer is D makes since
Let the numbers = x, x+1, x+2
It is given that, x + x+1 + x+2 = 84
3x + 3 = 84
3x = 84 - 3
3x = 81
x = 81/3
x = 27
Largest number, x+2 = 27+2 = 29
In short, Your Answer would be 29
Hope this helps!
