Three consecutive integers have a sum of 168. What is the value of the largest integer

1 answer:

6 0

Largest integer: 57

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 168
3x + 3 = 168
-3 -3
3x = 165
/3 /3
x = 55

x = smallest integer = 55
x + 1 = middle integer = 55 + 1 = 56
x + 2 = largest integer = 55 + 2 = 57

Answer:

Two points on the line would be (0, -4) and (4, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can start at the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the constant at the end of the equation. In this case it is -4, which gives us the first point of (0, -4).

We can find the second point by using the numerator of the slope to determine how much we go up or down (-3) and the denominator for how much we go left to right (4). So we add the 4 to the x value and add the -3 to the y value.

(4, -7)
