Answer:
2/7x +3=9
x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown be x.
Take 3 to the other side so: 2/7 multiplied by x= 6
Divide 6 by 2/7 to get the answer;
Therefore x=21
Sub back into equation to check answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first integer be x
2nd integer = x + 1
3rd integer = x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -147
3x + 3 = -147
3x = -147 - 3
3x = -150
x = -150 ÷ 3
x = -50
The three consecutive integers are
-50, -49, -48
So what are we trying to find the reduced fraction or inverse operation
