Answer:
First number = 4
Second number = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first number = x, the second number = x + 5.
The calculation can be expressed as follows:
x + 2(x + 5) = 22
First, expand the bracket 2(x + 5):
x + 2x + 10 = 22
Combine like terms:
3x + 10 = 22
Subtract 10 from both sides:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 4
First number = 4
Second number = 4 + 5 = 9
Answer:
28 basketballs
Step-by-step explanation:
basketballs : soccer balls
7 : 6
6 units rep 24
1 unit rep 4
7 units rep 28
Ok so
x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24
