Answer:

<em>The third integer is 27</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the consecutive odd numbers with T_1, T_2; and\ T_3

Since they are consecutive odds, then

T_2 = 2 + T_1

T_3 = 2 + T_2

<em>From the first statement in the question, we have that</em>

T_1  + T_3 = 5 T_2 - 75

Required

Find the third integer

Recall that

Substitute T_2 = 2 + T_1 in T_3 = 2 + T_2

T_3 = 2 +  2 + T_1

T_3 = 4 + T_1

Substitute T_3 = 4 + T_1 and T_2 = 2 + T_1 in T_1  + T_3 = 5 T_2 - 75

T_1  + 4 + T_1 = 5(2 + T_1) - 75

Open Brackets

T_1  + 4 + T_1 = 10 + 5T_1 - 75

Collect like terms

T_1 + T_1 + 4  = 5T_1 - 75 + 10

2T_1 + 4  = 5T_1 - 65

Collect like terms

2T_1  -  5T_1  = - 65 - 4

-3T_1   = - 69

Divide both sides by -3

\frac{-3T_1}{-3}   = \frac{- 69}{-3}

T_1 = 23

Recall that T_3 = 4 + T_1

T_3 = 4 + 23

T_3 = 27

<em>The third integer is 27</em>

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Step 1: Reverse the signs of 6x^3-2x + 3 expression.

Step 2: Removing parenthesis

Step 3: Grouping like terms

Step 4: Combing like terms

Step 5: Writing the final expression in standard form

Step-by-step explanation: First expression :6x^3-2x + 3

Second expression : -3x^3+5x^2+4x-7.

We need to subtract 6x^3-2x + 3 from -3x^3+5x^2+4x-7.

Step 1: Reverse the signs of 6x^3-2x + 3 expression.

(-3x^3+5x^2+4x-7)+(-6x3+2x-3)

Step 2: Removing parenthesis

(-3x^3) +5x^2+4x + (-7) + (-6x^3) + 2x + (-3)

Step 3: Grouping like terms

[-3x^3) + (-6x^3)] + [4x + 2x] + [(-7) + (-3)] + [5x^2]

Step 4: Combing like terms

-9x^3 + 6x + (-10) + 5x^2

Step 5: Writing the final expression in standard form

-9x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x-10
