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.

-7+ 5Y = -37 simplify your answer as much as possible
irinina [24]

Answer:

y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this equation as much as possible, we have to get the variable y by itself.

To do this, we would do the inverse operation of subtraction and add 7 to the left and right side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + 5y = -37 + 7

The 7s cancel out on the left side because -7+7 = 0 and so we are left with,

5y = -30

Then we would do the inverse operation of multiplication and divide by 5 on the left and right side of the equation.

5y/5 = -30/5

y = -6
