Answer:

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

Number 1 = x + 12

Number 2 = x - 12

Number 3 = x

(x + 12) + (x - 12) + x = 15

x + 12 + x - 12 + x = 15

x + x + x +12 -12 = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Check:

Number 1 = 17

Number 2 = 5 -12 = -7

Number = 5

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

17 + (-7) + 5 = 15

10 + 5 = 15

15 = 15

Answer is 5

Water flows down the Mississippi River at about 1.2 miles per hour
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of flow of water down the river is referred to as its speed. Thus the speed changes with respect to the distance covered. Which implies that there is a direct relationship between the distance covered (in miles) by the water flow and time taken (in hours).

The relationship between hours and miles the water traveled is continuous.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

3 oil changes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find an equation that represents this word problem: 3000x + 5000 = y

Where y = the # of miles total. y = 250 miles/week * 52 weeks/year = 13000 miles.

2. Solve for x: 3000x + 5000 = 13000   3000x=8000

3. x = 8/3 integer round down x = 2 oil changes, but plus the one after 5000 miles is a total of 3 oil changes that year
