Answer:
x = 7 is a solution.
x = -2 is an extraneous solution .
Linear, decrease by 2 for every decrease of x.
Number of plants = 5
Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.
So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.
Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons
Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
1st:x
2nd x+2
3rd: x+4
(x)+(x+2) = 3(x+4)-31
distribute
2x+2 = 3x+12-31
2x+2 =3x-19
subtract 2x from each side
2 = x-19
add 19 to each side
21 =x
Answer: 21,23,25
Answer:
let x be the number
seven less than three times a number ==> 3x - 7
