Let the three consecutive equals:
x, x+1, x+2

sum:
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 36
3x + 3 = 36
x+1 = 36/3
x+1 = 12
x=12-1
x=11

In the diagram below, DE is parallel to XY. What is the value of x?

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

the value of x is

115°+y=180 (being linear pair)

y =180°-115°

therefore, the value of y is 65°.

now again x=y=65°(being corresponding angle)

so, the value of x is 65°.

Answer:

3 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

you can set up a proportion based on the ratio of 2 cups cashews to 3 cups flour

let 'c' = # cups of cashews needed with 5 cups of flour

2/3 = c/5

cross-multiply to get:

3c = 10

c = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups
