Answer:

let x, x+2, x +4 are the 3 consecutive ODD numbers

x + x +2 +x +4 = 51

3x + 6 = 51

3x =51-6

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

x + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

proof

15 + 17 + 19 =51

8x + 6 - 2x = 34 x= ?

e-lub [12.9K]

8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
$\frac{6}{28}$ = x

Simplify $\frac{6}{28}$ to $\frac{3}{14}$ :
$\frac{3}{14}$ = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = $\frac{3}{14}$

What is four over nine equal A over 45

QveST [7]

Answer: A = 20

How to Solve:

Just by looking at this problem I can tell that the denominators (9 an 45) are factors of 9. So the second equation is multiplied by 5 from the first equation.

4/9 x 5

4 x 5 = 20
— -—
9 x 5 = 45

So A would be 20.

Another way to solve this would be by multiplying the 1st equations numerator with the second equations denominator:

4 x 45 = 180

Then divide 180 with the 1st equation’s denominator.

180 / 9 = 20

A = 20
