Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a bean plant grows at a constant rate for a month. after 10 days, the plant is 30 centimeters tall. after 20 days, the plant is 50 centimeters tall.
First of all we will find slope of our line using given points.

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in slope formula we will get,


Therefore, slope of our given line is 2.
Since the equation of a line in point slope form is
.
Upon substituting m=2 and coordinates of one point in above equation we will get,

Therefore, the equation that models the height of the plant (y) after x days will be
.
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79
Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80
the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81
ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
# of boys : # of girls
This can be written as
6:15
6 to 15, or
6/15
