Answer:

the three consecutive odd integers are 9, 11, and 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the first odd integer is x. The second consecutive odd integer would have to be x+2. (It would not be x+1  because that would result in an even integer. The sum of any two odd numbers is even.) The third consecutive odd integer would be (x+2) +2 or x+4.

The sum of the first, twice the second, and three times the third can be written as:

x+2(x+2)+3(x+4)

This equals 70. We can now distribute and solve for x:

x+2(x+2)+3(x+4)=70

x+2x+4+3x+12=70(distribute)

6x+16=70(combine like terms)

6x=54(subtract 16 from both sides)

x=9(divide by 9)

Thus, the three consecutive odd integers are 9, 11, and 13

hope this helps :)

Answer:

9,11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

X+(x+2)+(x+4)= ?

3x+6=  ?

70/2=35      35-2=33

3x+6=33

3x=27

x=9

9+22+39=70

$1000 is invested at 2.9% annual interest for 6 months.<br> a. Simple Interest b. Compound Interest
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a. Simple interest = $174

b. Compund interest = $1187.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal, P = $1000

Interest, R = 2.9%

Time, T = 6 months

a. To find the simple interest;

S.I = (PRT)/100

S.I = (1000*2.9*6)/100

S.I = 17400/100

S.I = $174

b. To find the compound interest;

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

A = 1000(1 + \frac{2.9}{100})^{6}

A = 1000(1 + 0.029)^{6}

A = 1000(1.029)^{6}

A = 1000(1.1871)

A = $1187.1

1.Bobby walked 5 miles and then 1/2 the distance. What is his total distance?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of 5 equals 2.5. Bobby already walked 5 miles so you add the 2.5 since he walked another half of that distance. 5 + 2.5 = 7.5
