Answer:
First number: 71/7
Second number: 135/7
Third number: 270/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First number = x
Second number= 2x-1
Third number= 2(2x-1)
x+(2x-1)+2(2x-1)= 68
3x-1+4x-2=68
7x-3=68
7x=71
x=71/7
You can check by plugging in the x into the equation.
3:5
5+3= 8
72 / 8 = 9
9 x 3 = 27

Divide everything by 8: 550/8=68.75, 250/8=31.25. The new dimensions are 68.75 inches by 31.25 inches :)
Answer:
The third one counting from the top.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the inequality:
(-1/3)*(2x + 1) < 3
The first thing we need to do is isolate x on one side of the inequality.
First we can by -3 in both sides of the inequality, and remember, because we are multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign changes its direction:
(-3)*(-1/3)*(2x + 1) > 3*(-3)
(2x + 1) > -9
Now we can subtract 1 in both sides:
2*x + 1 - 1 > -9 - 1
2*x > -10
Now we can divide by 2 in both sides:
2*x/2 > -10/2
x > -5
Then we should see a number line such that all the points at the right of -5 are colored.
The correct option is the third one, counting from the top.
