An equation without exponents and two variables, is typically a straight line. All the points on the line with integer coordinates are solutions of the equation. Since x and y have to be positive as well, there aren't that many solutions.

Let's see where the line crosses the x-axis, it is where y=0:

x/0.5 + 0 = 18, so x=9 at the intercept. y=0 there, so this is a point on the line, but not a solution to the question (y was supposed to be positive).

Possible values for x are thus limited to 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7. You can try them all (ie., solve the equation with them) and see for which x values the y is also positive and integer.

You will find that x=4, y=2 is the only pair that satisfies these conditions.

Use distributive property to solve this problem 3(x+4)=36
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+4)=36

Divide each side by 3

3/3 (x+4)=36/3

x+4 = 12

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 12-4

x = 8

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 168. What is the value of the largest integer
Svet_ta [14]
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
