Since p is the midpoint then xp and pay must equal each other
So, 11-6b=6-b
Solve for b
11-6b=6-b
-6 -6
5-6b=-b
+6b +6b
5=5b
b=1
xp=11-6(1)
xp=5
2.06 because the lower the number, the further left it will be on a number line
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the least number = x
Let the largest number = 2x
Let the second number = x + 3
The sum = 75
Equation
x + 2x + x + 3 = 75 Combine the terms on the left
Solution
4x + 3 = 75 Subtract 3 from both sides
4x +3-3= 75-3
4x = 72 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 72/4
x = 18
Answer
Smallest number = 18
Second number = 18 + 3 = 21
Largest number = 2*18 = 36
Sum = 75
