A + b + c = 168
b = 1/3c
a = b + c....a = 1/3c + c = 4/3c
now we sub
4/3c + 1/3c + c = 168
8/3c = 168
c = 168 * 3/8
c = 504/8
c = 63 <=== Carlos collected 63 lbs
a = 4/3c
a = 4/3(63)
a = 252/3
a = 84 <== Amy collected 84 lbs
b = 1/3c
b = 1/3(63)
b = 63/3 <== Bruce collected 21 lbs
b = 21
Answer:
The three consecutive integers are 5,6,7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers be represented as x,x+1,x+2
As per the requirement, largest integer is 3 less than twice the smallest.
=> x+ 2 = 2x -3
=> 2x -x = 2+3
=> x= 5
So the three integers are 5,6,7
Verification:
Largest integer = 7
Smallest integer = 5
2 * smallest integer - 3 = 2* 5 - 3 = 7
Largest integer is also 7.
So the required condition in the question is satisfied by these three integers.
Three miles a day should be the correct answer
1000 this is because it is the right one
