<span>the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 69. Find the integers.
-------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
---------------------
Equation:</span>2x-1 + 2x+1 + 2x+3 = 69<span>
</span><span>6x + 3 = 69
2x + 1 = 23
-----------------
So 2x-1 = 21
And 2x+3 = 25
</span><span>let:
x be the first odd integer
x + 2 be the 2nd odd integer
x + 4 be the 3rd odd integer
solution:
1st odd integer + 2nd odd integer + 3rd odd integer = 69
x + (x+2) + (x+4)= 69
</span>
<span>3x + 6 = 69
3x = 69 - 6
3x = 63 (dividing both sides by three)
x = 21
_______________________________________
x=21
x+2=23
x+4=25
therefore, the 1st integer is 21, the 2nd is 23 and the 3rd is 25..</span>
-3(b - 7)
-3*b = -3b
-3*7 = -21
-3b - 21
Answer:
<h2>x = 8</h2>
Move 1.4 to the left side of the equation
That's
Convert the decimal to fraction
That's
1.6 = 8/5
Multiply through by 5
We have

Answer:
sorry look question at once and comment
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
In terms of area per hour, Bob's works at the rate of ...
1460 ft²/(4 h) = 365 ft²/h
Rhonda's rate is ...
753 ft²/(1.5 h) = 502 ft²/h
The rates are different, so they are not proportional.
___
<em>Additional comment</em>
Toni's rate is 803 ft²/(2.2 h) = 365 ft²/h . . . the same as Bob's
Bob's and Toni's rates are proportional.
