Answer:

The numbers are -16,-15 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first number

x+1 ----> the second number

x+2 ---> the third number

we know that

(1/4)x+(1/5)(x+1)=(1/7)(x+2)-5

Multiply by (4*5*7) both sides

35x+28(x+1)=20(x+2)-140*5

35x+28x+28=20x+40-700

43x=-688

x=-16

so

x+1=16+1=-15

x+2=-16+2=-14

The numbers are -16,-15 and -14

Solve for x 5(x+4)=2x+20+2x
spayn [35]
Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!
