Define x :
-----------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2.
-----------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
-----------------------------------------
Sum of these numbers is 72
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
-----------------------------------------
Solve for x :
-----------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 69
x = 23
-----------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
-----------------------------------------
1st number = x = 23
2nd number = x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
3rd number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The numbers are 23, 24 and 25.

Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + y < 2
y > –2
Substitute the point into the inequalities and see if they are true
4(4) + 2 < 2
16+2 < 2
18 <2 False
2 > –2 True
Since one is false the point is not a solution

Answer:
-8.0625
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y is also doubled.
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct proportionality between
and
means that

or
,
which indicates a linear relationship between
and
because they are related by a constant.
Therefore, if x is doubled, then the new value of
is 



The new value of
is 2 times the previous; therefore,
is doubled as
is doubled.
