Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.
3(x+2)=7 X=1/3 Because 3(x+2) would simplify to 3x+6=7 and then its a two-step equation
40 wpm. Because 160/4=40.

30/54 =x/1,140
30*1140= 34200
34200/54 = 633.33
ANSWER:
Estimated- 633
The answer would be D.
you would start by choosing one of the variables to eliminate, i chose to eliminate X first. in order to eliminate X, i had to multiply the second equation by -2. X then cancelled out, and i solved for the Y the same way you would a 1 step equation. Y=-4
I then took the first original equations, plugged Y in, and solved for X. X=3.
Hope this helps!
