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 :)

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

There were 3 diamonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{Diamonds(D)}{Stars(S)}=\frac{3}{11}

Therefore, 11D=3S

S=3D+2

Therefore,

\frac{11D}{3}=3D+2

11D=9D+6

2D=6

D=3

6+8(y-3/5), if y=8/9
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

<em>8 14/45</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, place 8/9 anywhere there is a y:

6+8(8/9-3/5)

Next, do what is in the parenthesis. Make both fractions have the same denominator.

6+8(40/45-27/45)

And now subtract:

6+8(13/45)

Now, multiply 8 and 13/45:

6+ 104/45

Convert the fraction to a mixed fraction:

2 14/45

Finally, add 6:

8 14/45
