Answer:

[(6 + x) / 13+x] = 0.65

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of games = 13

Number of correct prediction = 6

Number of correct predictions needed to raise prediction % to 65%

(Number of correct predictions) / (total number of games) = 0.65

Let x = number of additional consecutive correct predictions

[(6 + x) / 13+x] = 0.65

Where x = number of consecutive predictions required

6 + x = (13 + x) * 0.65

6 + x = 8.45 + 0.65x

x - 0.65x = 8.45 - 6

0.35x = 2.45

x = 2.45 / 0.35

x = 7

7 consecutive correct predictions

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 987. Find the numbers.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first odd number = a, second odd number = a +2, third odd number = a + 4

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 987

3a + 6 = 987

3a = 981

a = 327

First odd number = a = 327

Second odd number = a + 2 = 329

Third odd number = a + 4 = 331
