Consecutive means in order. So let's call the first integer x. The next number in line would be x+1 and the largest integer would be x+2. Let's prove that so you're not confused. If x is 3, then x+1 is 4 (next in line), and x+2 is 5 next after that. See? So if we add all those together we set them equal to 267 and solve for x: x + x+1 + x+2 = 267. Combining like terms gives us 3x + 3 = 267 and 3x = 264. Now dividing both sides by 3 we get that x = 88. That's the smallest integer; the largest is found by adding 88 + 2 which is 90. So that means that the numbers are 88, 89, 90, and that adding them up = 267. Let's check that now: 88+89+90=267 so we're good.
<span>3x-5=5x+11
subtract 3x to both sides
</span>3x-5 - 3x =5x+11 - 3x
<span>simplify
-5 = 2x +11
answer is </span><span>D. -5=2x+11</span>
8/45 is the correct answerrrrrr
Answer:
2/8 and 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
4=2×2
8=2×2×<em>2</em>
<em>LCM=</em>2×2×<em>2</em>=8
1/4 × 2/2 = 2/8
