Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
angle ACD + angle DCB = 180 (Angles on straight line)
4x + 2 + 3x + 3 = 180
7x + 5 = 180
7x = 180-5
7x = 175
x = 175 / 7
x = 25
angle DCB = 3x +3 = 3*25 + 3 = 75 +3 = 78
Answer:
4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make 1 batch of a homemade cleaning product,
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch
How many total cups of baking soda I needed to make 2 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
Let x = total cups of baking soda needed
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
x cups : 2 1/2 batches
Equate the ratios
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch = x cups : 2 1/2 batches
7/4 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 5/2
7/4 × 1/1 = x * 2/5
7/4 = 2/5x
Divide both sides by 2/5
x = 7/4 ÷ 2/5
= 7/4 × 5/2
Cross product
x = 35/8
= 4 3/8 cups of baking soda

Answer:
- 3n+6 (n = smallest)
- 3n (n = middle)
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual method for doing this is to let n represent the smallest one. Then the three integers are ...
n, n+2, and n+4
and their sum is ...
(n) +(n+2) +(n+4) = 3n+6 . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = smallest)
_____
Personally, for consecutive number problems, I prefer to let the variable represent the average value. If n is the average value of 3 consecutive odd integers, is is the middle integer. Of course, the sum will be 3 times the average:
(n-2) +(n) +(n+2) = 3n . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = middle one)
