First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the 3 consecutive integers and equate to 36
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36
3x + 6 = 36 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 10
The 3 consecutive integers are
10, 10 + 2, 10 + 4, that is
10, 12, 14
the answer is 59/24 or 2.4583 or 2 11/24
