When doing consecutive numbers you have to think about how you get to the next number when counting. If I start with 5, I have to add 1 to get to 6, and add 2 to get to 7. This is the same way we do this problem except we don't know the starting number so we use x.
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 117 Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 117 subtract 3 from both sides
3x = 114 divide 3 on both sides
x = 38
x + 1 = 39
x + 2 = 40
The question wants the smallest number, x = 38
I don’t know but have a good day
1. Subtract 1/3 from 7/9.
1/3 and 7/9 : Both denominators of 3 and 9 go into 9.
2. 1/3* 3 = 3/9 7/9*1 = 7/9
3.3/9 - 7/9 = 4/9 OR 2 1/9
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The GCF of 30, 24, and 36 is 6. 30 divided by 6 is 5, 24 divided by 6 is 4, and 36 divided by 6 is 6. 5+4+6=15
We have to simplify and get the value of x from this inequality given:
Given inequality,
Now let's simplify by using distributive property,
We need to find x, so let's isolate x to the letter side of the inequality for calculation at ease.
Now, dividing -2 from both sides.
Note : As we are dividing a negative number from both sides, the sign of the inequality will be <u>reversed</u>.
Now subtracting -7 from both sides,
Or, Interval of the equal
