----------------------------------------------
Define x:
----------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of students in the second class:
⇒second class = x

There are 3 more students in the first class than in the second class:
⇒first class = x + 3

There are 2 more students in the third class than in the second class:
⇒third class = x + 2

----------------------------------------------
Expression for each class:
----------------------------------------------
First class = x + 3
Second class = x
Third class = x + 2

----------------------------------------------
Expression for total number of students:
----------------------------------------------
Total = x + 3 + x + x + 2
Total =  3x + 5

----------------------------------------------
Find x:
----------------------------------------------
There are 80 students in total, so
3x + 5 = 80
3x = 75
x = 25

----------------------------------------------
Find the number of students in each class:
----------------------------------------------
First class = x + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28
Second class = x = 25
Third class = x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: There are 25 students in the second class.

You should write equation for this
if we put x as the number of students in the second class then the equation will be :
(3 + x) + x(2 + x) = 80 \\ 3 + x + x + 2 + x = 80 \\ 5 + 3x = 80
now you can find the value of x:
5 + 3 x = 80 \\ 3x = 80 - 5 \\ 3x = 75 \\ x =  \frac{75}{3}  = 25
the number of students in the second class is 25


you can find the others, too

first class: 25+ 3=28

third class: 25+ 2=27


good luck

nadezda [96]
You can divide 87 by 3 which is 29, so each angle will be 29 degrees.
Since they are consecutive, that means they will all measure the same.

Hope this helps! :)

Can you double a square with a straightedge and a compass?
sergejj [24]
I'd say yes.  If you use the diagonal as a reference.  Take the square and set your compass to the width of the diameter of the square.  Now put it on the page and mark a point.  Put the point of the compass on that mark and make another mark.  Now you can connect the two marks with the straight edge and you have a line that, if you made a square with sides that long, it'd have 2x the area of the first one.  That's because the diagonal is the square root of 2 larger than one side.  Square the square root of 2 and you've got 2.  You lust need to make a perpendicular line to the first one to get the box going.
