Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1. you distrubute the -4 to the -2x and +7.
2.you combine like terms.
3.you get X in one side of the equation.
4.You divide 1 by 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the smallest integer = x - 1 (You'll see why in a moment).
Let the middle integer = x
Let the largest ingeger = x + 1
Equation
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 255
Solution
Combine like terms on the left.
3x - 1 + 1 = 255
3x = 255 Divide by 3
3x/3 = 255/3
x = 85
So the smallest number is 84
The middle number is 85
The largest number is <u> 86</u>
Total 255
Do you see why I made the smallest number x - 1?
It is because the -1 and the plus 1 cancel out.
Please realize the question says consecutive integers. It does not say consecutive odd or consecutive even integers.
Answer:
The minute hand covers
in 26 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the minute hand of a clock covers 360 degrees angle (full rotation) in 60 minutes.
Then if we want to find how many degrees (our unknown x) it covers in 26 minutes, we can write the following proportion to solve for the unknown:

Let
x--------> distance that Kerry can carry the basket in feet
y--------> distance that Rachel can carry the basket in feet
z-------> distance that Daniel can carry the basket in feet
we know that
-------> equation 
-------> equation 
-------> equation 
Substitute equation
in equation 

<u>Find the value of z</u>

if each person taking only one turn,
then
the distance that they can carry the basket is equal to ------> x+y+z


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
Yes It is reasonable
