Answer:
17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
x+2 = second number
x+4 = third number
4x + 3(x+2) + 2(x+4) = 167
simplify:
4x + 3x + 6 + 2x + 8 = 167
combine like terms:
9x + 14 = 167
subtract 14 from each side of the equation:
9x = 153
divide both sides by 9:
x = 17

A hole 8 feet deep because it’s down making it negative
Answer:
y = 9 + 19x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation matching a set of data, you simply try a few values for x and see if by solving that side of the equation you get the value of y. If you do, you found your equation.
You have a big advantage here... since you have the value of y when x = 0.
When x = 0, y = 9, that's a very important data to have to simplify your research.
Let's try the value of 0 for x in each of the given equations:
y = 18 + 10 (0) = 18 --- NO
y = 9 + 19 (0) = 9 --- YES! We can confirm with another value of x:
y = 9 + 19 (1) = 28 --- YES! Confirmed!
y = 9 + 19x is your answer!
