Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive integers just means like one after another.
This means that:
First number = x
Second number = x + 1
Third number = x + 2
They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.
First number + second number + third number = 78
Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
Gather the like terms.
3x + 3 = 78
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 78-3 = 75
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 75/3 = 25
If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.
Therefore it is 25.
Second number = x + 1 = 26
Third number = x + 2 = 27
I'm just guessing but if you subtract the 1 from 11 and divide by 2 on both sides then T would equal 5
Answer:
(4, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 9 → (1)
x - y = - 1 → (2)
adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y
2x + 0 = 8
2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (1)
4 + y = 9 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 5
solution is (4, 5 )
Answer: 12$
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to round 79.45 to the nearest 10 dollars, which is 80.
We can then get 15% of it easily since its a whole number by adding 10% (8) and 5% (4) to get an estimate of around 12 dollars.
