Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smaller two is three times the largest increased by seven

1 answer:

4 0

Let the three odd integers be x - 2, x and x + 2
x - 2 + x = 3(x + 2) + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 6 + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 13
3x - 2x = -2 - 13
x = -15

The three consecutive odd integers are -17, -15 and -13.

If there were 49 cars in a line that stretched 528 feet, what is the average car length? assume that the cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper

Answer: We are given there are 49 cars

Also these 49 cars are in a line stretched 528 feet.

Now the average length of the car is:

Average length = $\frac{(length-covered-by-49-cars)}{Number-of-cars}$

= $\frac{528}{49}=10.78$

Therefore, the average length of car is 10.78 feet

Explain how you know which method you should use to solve a rational equation.

<u>Methods to solve rational equation:</u>

Rational equation:

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one rational expression.

Method 1:

The method for solving rational equations is to rewrite the rational expressions in terms of a common denominator. Then, since we know the numerators are equal, we can solve for the variable.

For example,

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=1$
