If you use the distributive property on (x+y)/3, the result should be:
(x/3) + (y/3)
So right now you see that you have x and y intercept right? Then plug those intercepts in equation that you have and solve for z. Which means z=5(1)(1) will be 5, 5(4)(1) will be 20, and 5(1)(2) will be 10. So, overall you have 5, 20, 10.
Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.
It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.
So,x+x+1+x+2=46
3x+3=46.
Subtracting 3 both sides
3x=46-3
3x=43.
x= 
Since is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.
Answer:
x=3
y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
first multiply the 2nd row by 2 so you will get
4x-4y=16
4x+2y=10
then subtract the 2nd row from the first row and so you will get
-6y=6
then solve for y in the above equation
y=-1
then substitute y=-1 into any 2 equations .
i picked the first 1
4x-4 × -1=16
then solve for x .
you will get
x=3
