Answer:
x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since I don't know what this number is, I'm going to use the variable x to substitute for the value of the unknown number.
So it would just be x + 15 because addition is the operation of adding and the key words are usually more. Since one of the numbers is unknown, we can't get an answer like "100" because x is undefined.
Say x=100, then the number would be written as 115 in it's simplest form but you could also write it as 100+15. So I'm just using substitution.
Let the three consecutive equals:
x, x+1, x+2
sum:
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 36
3x + 3 = 36
x+1 = 36/3
x+1 = 12
x=12-1
x=11
Answer:
Shorter piece length is 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's marked first piece with x and second with y
x + y = 42
Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4
From this proportion we get
x = 3 c and y = 4 c where c is coefficient of proportionality
when we replace this in initial equation we get
3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6 c = 6
x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches
shorter piece is x = 18 inches
