Can you put a picture of the passage
Answer:
2 pt + 1c
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 cups in a pint. So, 2c = p, dividing 2 from both sides, we get
c = (1/2)p
Replace c with 1/2 p in the equation
5 pt - (2pt + (1/2)p)
= 5pt - 2pi - (1/2)p
= 3pt - (1/2)p
= 2pt + (1/2)p
Replace back (1/2)p for c
2pt + (1/2)p =
2 pt + 1c
Answer:
$11.50. Each CD cost $11.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
When trying to determine how much each CD cost, we need to know our total cost, $57.50, and how many CDs were bought, 5.
Since 5 CDs cost $57.50, we can divide our total cost by the number of CDs purchased to find the cost of each CD. 57.50 / 5 = 11.50
Answer:
is a polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
a polynomial is a set of numbers with multiple terms that are not simplify able
is not a polynomial because its actually one term, there is no addition/subtraction of different terms.
-13 is a single number, so not a polynomial
13x^-2 is also a single number, not a polynomial

Let the smallest integer = x
The middle integer = x + 1
The largest integer = x + 2
Remark
The first phrase up to is says the sum of ... The key word is sum. So far you have x + x + 1 + x + 2. Simplified this comes to 3x + 3.
Two times the 2nd number is 2*(x + 1) and from that, subtract 14
2(x + 1) - 14
If you break down each phrase as I have done you will soon become very good at doing these types of problems.
So the equation looks like this.
Solution
3x + 3 = 2(x + 1) - 14 Remove the brackets.
3x + 3 = 2x + 2 - 14 Combine the like terms on the right.
3x + 3 = 2x - 12 Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 2x - 12 - 3
3x = 2x - 15 Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = - 15
x = -15 <<<< Answer for smallest number.
Answer
-15
- 14
-13 Are the three numbers you seek.
