Answer:
A coefficient is the number next to a letter. It's used to multiply a variable. If there is just a variable then the coefficient is 1. For example 6x.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79
Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80
the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81
ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
Answer:
B. Solve each equation for a variable
Is (-1,13) a solution of the system: Yes it is x =1, y= 13
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x=30-2y
- 15 = - 2y + 11x
-4x=30-2y
-2y+4y = -30-------------------i
- 2y + 11x= - 15 ---------------ii
make x the subject of formula in equ i
-4x=30-2y
x= (30-2y)/-4
insert x= (30-2y)/-4 in equ ii
- 2y + 11x= - 15
-2y+ 11((30-2y)/-4)= -15
-2y+(330-22y)/4 = -15
-8y+330-22y/4 = -15
-8y-22y+330/4= -15
cross multiply
-30y+330 = 4x-15 = -60
-30y = -60-330
-30y =--390
y= -390/-30 = 13
if y = 13
x = (30-2y)/-4 = (30-2x13)/-4 = (30-26)/4 = 4/4 = 1
x=1 , y=13
