Step-by-step explanation:
x-the initial number of coconuts
x=3y+1
2y=3z+1
2z=3×7+1=>z=11=>y=17=>x=52
You're asking for three consecutive odd numbers, then
Let, the numbers = x, x+2, x+4
It is given that, x + x+2+ x+4 = -27
3x + 6 = -27
3x = -27 - 6
x = -33/3
x = -11
Then, x+2 = -9 & x+4 = -7
In short, Your Numbers would be: -7, -9,-11
Hope this helps!
22.5 miles
You would create a proportion based on the given information, then cross multiply and solve for the number of miles 1 gallon of gas can go.
