[a] x = 175 - 7.5p
For a, we are isolating the x variable to one side of the equation.
0.4x + 3p = 70
0.4x = - 3p + 70
x = - 7.5p + 175
[b] x = 115
For b, we are solving for x when p = 8.
x = - 7.5p + 175
x = - 7.5(8) + 175
x = 115
I think it’s 3 and 2/6! sorry if im wrong but i hope this helps
Answer:
332, 333, 334
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we acknowledge that the equation that we need to solve will be "x+(x+1)+(x+2)=999" This is because x represents the smallest of three consecutive numbers whose sum is 999. Simplifying this equation will leave us with 3x+3=999 which is simplified further to 3x=996 and again simplified to x=332. X is the smallest number of the three.
