I'm not sure what you mean by "the 3 consecutive numbers of 72".

Do you mean 3 consecutive numbers that ADD UP TO 72 ?

If that's what you want, then you can use this equation:

The middle number . . . . . x
The smallest number . . . . (x-1)
The biggest number . . . . . (x+1)

The equation:        (x-1)   +   (x)   +   (x+1)   =   72 .

Boil that equation down, and you discover that  x=24 .

So the 3 numbers are  23,  24,  and  25 .

6 1/2+n=12. please explain for me I dunno how to do this.
Temka [501]
Hey there!

Let's first define our goal. Our goal here is to be able to isolate the variable, n, and solve for it by moving everything to the other side. We see that we have two sides of the equation, and by using the property of equality which states that whatever you do to one side you do to the other and the expression remains equal, we can solve this equation.

It looks like the only thing we have on the left side with n is that 6 1/2. In order to get rid of it, we must subtract it from both sides, because the property of equality states you must do the inverse operation.

We have:

n = 12 - 6 1/2

n = 5 1/2

Hope this helps!

My homework says, "Does the graph represent a proportional relationship? Why or why not? You MUST explain to get credit."
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

No, the graph does not represent a proportional relationship. It is a straight line, but it does not intersect the point (0, 0). ... It's not proportional because the line does not cross through the origin. Therefore the ratio of x to y will be different for two different points on the line.
