Answer:

their ages are 14, 15, and 16. Is that what you were asking?

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the age of the smallest friend

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=45

3x+3=45

3x=42

x=14

45 = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2)

45 = 3x + 3

- 3

42 = 3x

14 = x

45 = 14 + (14 + 1) + (14 + 2)

45 = 14 + 15 + 16

The ages of the 3 friends are 14, 15, and 16.

Suppose y varies directly with x. if y=-3 when x=5 find y when x=-1

Scrat [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x

&& y={{ k }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{we know that, when}
\begin{cases}
y=-3\\
x=5
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies (-3)=k(5)$

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)
