let the numbers are x , x+1 ,x+2
∴ 6 [ x + (x+1) +(x+2) ] = 162
∴ x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 162/6 = 27
∴3x + 3 = 27
∴ 3x = 27 - 3 = 24
∴ x = 24/3 = 8
<u>So, the numbers are 8 , 9 , 10</u>
Answer:
210 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent it mathematically.
Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove, so we represent it by
B = 65 + ½S
It is also said that together, they drove 500 miles, we represent it with.
B + S = 500
Now, we solve simultaneously.
Let's eliminate the ½ in Ben's drive. So we multiply the equation by 2.
2B = 130 + S.
Rearranging, we have
S = 2B - 130.
We substitute this value of S, in the second equation. So we have.
B + (2B - 130) = 500, open the brackets
B + 2B - 130 = 500
3B - 130 = 500, collecting the like terms
3B = 500 + 130
3B = 630
B = 630/3
B = 210 miles.
Therefore, Ben drove 210 miles.
