Answer:

The answer is

One:   28, 29, 30

Two: 75,77

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1

(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 =  75                Remove the brackets

x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75                    Combine the like terms on the left

3x - 12 = 75                                       Add 12 to both sides

3x = 75 + 12

3x = 87                                              Divide by 3

x = 87/3

x = 29

Two

Let the first odd number = 2x -1

Let the second odd number = 2x + 1

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170           Combine like terms on the left.

4x + 18 = 170                             Subtract 18 from both sides.

4x = 170 - 18                             Combine like terms on the right

4x = 152                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 152/4

x = 38

2 * 38 - 1 = 75

2 * 38 + 1 = 77

Roadstone Limited can resurface 7/8km of a road in a day. How many days will it take
wariber [46]

Answer:

<h2>16 days</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of days that it will take.

7/8 km per 1 day

14 km    per x day

We have to solve the equation:

\frac{x}{1} =\frac{14}{\left( \frac{7}{8} \right)  }

\Longrightarrow x=14\times \frac{8}{7} =2\times 8=16
