Consecutive means right after each other
difference of 1
numbers are
x,x+1,x+2
their sum is 117
x+x+1+x+2=117
add
3x+3=117
subtract 3 form both sides
3x=114
divide both sides by 114
x=38
largest number is x+2
38=x
x+2=38+2=40

largest number is 40

Divide 117 by three to get the middle name number, then you subtract one and add one to 1 of the three 39's to get your numbers as 38, 39, 40. And the largest number. Is 40. Hope this helped.

Answer:

Equations are

20c + 10m = 495..............(1)

8c + 1m = 178.5.................(2)

Now ,  equation (2) * 10 = 80c + 10m = 1785...........(3)

So, Eq. (3) -  Eq(1) =

80c + 10m - 20c - 10m = 1785 - 495

60c = 1290

c= 21.5

********************************************************

Now place the value of c in Eq (2)

So , m =6.5

Find the degree of the term -5x to the power of 4
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

4 or -625x^4 (Just in case I misunderstood)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree is always the power of something. Since -5x has a power of 4, its degree is 4.

Just in case I misunderstood the question, I will solve it another way that I think you meant. (-5x)^4 is -5^4 times x^4.

-625 times x^4 is -625x^4.

ruslelena [56]
X*80+y*60= 50*74
x      +y      =50            | * ( -60)

80x  + 60y= 50*74
-60x  - 60y=-50*60
---------------------------
20x= 50*(74-60)=50*14
x=50*14/20=35 pounds of 80 cents tea
y=50-35=15 pounds of 60 cents tea
