What are 3 consecutive integers who's sum is 396?

1 answer:

4 0

Since it's three consecutive integers, the equation will end up like this:

x+x+1+x+2 = 396.
Combine like terms. All the x's will add together to become 3x, while the ones without will be 1+2 = 3.
3x+3 = 396.
We need to start getting the x by itself. We must subtract 3 from both sides. This is how it should end up:
3x = 393.
Then, we will finally get x by itself by dividing 3 by both sides.
x = 131. The answer is x = 131.

Janine’s error is that she incorrectly counted the spaces that point C has shifted. Focusing on point C like Janine did, to get to point C’ you would need to shift 3 units to the left and 5 units down. This would make the new translation rule (x-3, y-5) to get from triangle ABC to triangle A’B’C’.
