Start by calling the first whole number n. Then the next whole number after that is n + 1, the one after that is n + 2, etc. The nine consecutive whole numbers add up to 153, so


n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) + (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6) + (n + 7) + (n + 8) = 153


Combine like terms and simplify.


9n + 36 = 153

9n = 117

n = 13 The first number is 13.


The 5th number, n + 4, has the value 13 + 4 = 17.

We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like


x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)


Since we know that they equal 153,


x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153


Now we combine like terms


9x + 36 = 153


Simplify


9x = 117


x = 13


Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.

5/7^3 = 5(7^x)<br> Thank you for helping!!
SIZIF [17.4K]

When solving this equation you get x = -3.

To solve this, simply follow the order of operations for solving.

\frac{5}{7^{3}}  = 5(7^{x} ) ----> start by dividing both sides by 5

\frac{1}{7^{3}}  = (7^{x} ) -----> Now you can transform the front side of the equation to use negative exponents.

7^{-3} = 7^{x}

Since both x and -3 are the powers of x, we can eliminate the 7 and just make the exponents equal.

-3 = x

May you help me please I am stressed and struggling
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The answer would be 2x+4+3x+4, 5x+8, and 2(2x+4) +x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Simplify 2x+4+3x+4 into 5x (combine the x's) +8 (combine the 2 4's)
Step 2. Simplify 2(2x+4)= x into 4x + 8 + x (<-- distribute the 2 to the 2x and 4) and 4x+x would equal 5x meaning 5x + 8.
I hope that this helps! :)

you are planning a scavenger hunt for 20 campers. You plan to have 5 teams.one camper for each team will be recorder and the res
nikitadnepr [17]

Total number of campers = 20

Total number of teams = 5

⇒ Number of campers in each team = Total number of campers ÷ Total number of teams

⇒ Number of campers in each team = 20 ÷ 5

⇒ Number of campers in each team = 4

Number of recorders in each team = 1

⇒ Number of searchers in each team = Number of campers in each team - Number of recorders in each team

⇒ Number of searchers in each team = 4  - 1

⇒ Number of searchers in each team = 3

Hence, there will be 3 searchers in each team
