Just as an example, three consecutive integers might be 4,5,6.

If x is the least of these (4 in our example), then the other two integers would be x+1, and x+2.

Then the sum of our three integers is x + (x+1) + (x+2). 

Addition is commutative so we can switch any two terms, and it is also associative so we can regroup any terms. This lets is rearrange things with all the "x" together and all the numbers together like this:

(x+x+x) + (1+2) OR 3x + 3

According to the problem, the sum is 126, so 3x+3 = 126.
3x = 123
x = 41 (which is the smallest consecutive integer)

Check our answer: 41 + 42 + 43 = 126.

7 + 2y = 8x 3x - 2y = 0 Solve the system of equations by substitution. (70/3, 140/9) (7/5, 21/10) no solution coincident
Wittaler [7]
So we have the system of equations:
7+2y=8x equation (1)
3x-2y=0 equation (2)

To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for x in equation (2):
3x-2y=0
3x=2y
x= \frac{2}{3}y equation (3)

Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
7+2y=8x
7+2y=8( \frac{2}{3} y)
7+2y= \frac{16}{3} y
7= \frac{10}{3} y
y= \frac{7}{ \frac{10}{3} }
y= \frac{21}{10} equation (4)

Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
x= \frac{2}{3}y
x=( \frac{2}{3} )( \frac{21}{10} )
x= \frac{7}{5}

We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>

Answer:

y =  \frac{5}{6} x - 12

Putting the value of x of coordinate point (12,-2)

where x= 12

y= 5×12/6 -12

= 5(2)-12

=10-12 = -2

option D
