Answer:

The third number in this sequence is 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd number be <em>x</em>.

Since our sequence are consecutive odd numbers, the second term must be (<em>x</em> + 2) and the third (<em>x</em> + 4). If we only add one, we will get even numbers.

Their sum is 183. Hence:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=183

Solve for <em>x</em>. Combine like terms:

3x+6=183

Subtract six from both sides:

3x=177

And divide both sides by three. Hence:

x=59

Therefore, our sequence is 59, 61, and 63.

The third number in this sequence is 63.

Note: If we do not get an odd number or if we get a fraction for <em>x</em>, we can conclude that no three consecutive integers sum to 183.

2x+3y=9<br> 2x+y=7<br> simultaneous equation
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x=3 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract equation 2 from 1

then (2x+3y) -(2x+y) =9-7

2x-2x+3y-y =2

2y=2 therefore y=1

substitute y value in 2x+y=7

2x+1=7

2x=7-1

2x=6

x=3

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first define the concepts a little:

We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.

Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.
