Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:

x+2, x+4, x+6.

The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e

x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123

x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123

3x + 12 = 123

Collect like terms

3x = 123 — 12

3x = 111

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3

x = 111/3

x = 37

Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:

1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39

2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41

3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43

The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39

Answer:

x = 90, y = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

By the SAS theorem (as you can tell by the picture) angles B and C are similar, which means they are both 47 degrees.

Since the triangles are similar (SAS theorem) then angle x must be equal to 90 degrees, because they are on a straight line both angles would need to add up to 180 degrees.

Now that you have two angles out of three, you can solve for the last angle by setting up this equation:

B + D + A = 180

47 + 90 + A = 180

Add 47 and 90 together.

137 + A = 180

Subtract 137 from both sides.

A = 43

x = D and y = A, therefore x = 90 and y = 43.
