Let us assume the first integer to be = x
Then
The second integer will be = x + 1
The sum of the two consecutive integers =185
Then
x + x + 1 = 185
2x + 1 = 185
2x = 184
x = 92
From the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the smallest of the two integers is 92. I hope that the answer has helped you.
Answer:
1 Expert Answer
X + Y + Z = 264. Since Y is 1 bigger than X, Y = X + 1. Since Z is 1 bigger than Y, Z = Y + 1. But Y = X + 1, so Z = (X + 1) + 1 = X + 2.
Answer:
168 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7x+40+0.75x−118=x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5/7x+40+0.75x−118=x
5/7x+40+0.75x+−118=x
(5/7x+0.75x)+(40+−118)=x(Combine Like Terms)
1.464286x+−78=x
1.464286x−78=x
Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.
1.464286x−78−x=x−x
0.464286x−78=0
Step 3: Add 78 to both sides.
0.464286x−78+78=0+78
0.464286x=78
Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.464286.
0.464286x/0.464286=78/0.464286
x=168
I am struggling thinking it is either the first or third one. Hope I narrowed it down a bit.
