Answer:

The Consecutive number are 46 , 47 and 48 having sum as 141

The smallest number is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

• A consecutive numbers means number are in a sequence and are one after the another !

e.g. n , (n+1). Or 1 , 2 are consecutive numbers

• A consecutive even numbers differ by 2 because all even numbers are divisible by 2 !

• If the number is divisible by x we must had taken number as n , ( n + x ) ,

( n + 2x )

• Let the numbers be ( n - 1 ) , n and

( n + 1 )

Given ,the sum of numbers is 141

n - 1 + n + n + 1 = 141

3n = 141

n = 141/3

n = 47

So, the numbers are

n- 1 = 47 - 1 = 46

n = 47

n + 1 = 48

And , the smallest number is 46

• Verification :-

46 + 48 + 47 = 141

Which satisfies the given condition !!

Hence , verified !!

Alejandro has gone to school StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction of the last 35 days. Which expression can be used to determine t
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Expression B

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us find the information in the question</em>

  • Alejandro has gon to school \frac{5}{7} of the last 35 days
  • We need to find the expression that represents the number of days Alejandro has gone to school.

<em>We must write the given information in an expression then look for it in the choices.</em>

∵ He has gone \frac{5}{7} of 35 days

→ "of" means times (×)

∴ The days that he has gon = 35 × \frac{5}{7}

<em>The expression that can be used to determine the number of days he has gone to school is</em> 35 × \frac{5}{7}

The choices are:

A) \frac{35}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

B) 35 × \frac{5}{7}

C)  \frac{5}{7} ÷ 35

D) \frac{7}{5} ÷ 35

The answer is B

Which expression gives the x-coordinate of the solution of the system?
aalyn [17]
To find the the expression that gives the value of x we are going to proceed as follows: 
5x+3y=-18 equation (1)
2x-4y=-28 equation (1)

Step 1. solve for y in equation (2)
2x-4y=-28
-4y=-28-2x
y= \frac{-28-2x}{-4}
y=7+ \frac{1}{2} x equation (3)

Step 3. Replace equation (3) in equation (1) and solve for x
5x+3y=-18
5x+3(7+ \frac{1}{2} x)=-18
5x+21+ \frac{3}{2} x=-18
\frac{13}{2} x=-39
x= \frac{-39(2)}{(13)}
x=-6

We can conclude that the expression that gives the value of x is: x=-6
