Answer:18 19 20

Step-by-step explanation:"Consecutive"  means that the integers will follow each other in value, for example:  1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6.  Also, no decimals are needed here because "integers" are whole, counting numbers. Here is the set up:   Let x= the first integer     Then    X+1= 2nd consecutive integer   and x+2= 3rd  .  

Suppose that x=1   x+1= 1+1=2   and x+2=1+2=3   However, you need specific consecutive numbers whose sum is 57.  Remember that sum means to add:

x+  (x+1)  + (x+2) = 57                 Addition of all 3 consecutive numbers   Now solve for x

                                                   and substitute into each part to come up with the three integers:

3x + 3= 57        3x=54               x=54/3  =  18            x=18,   x+1= 18+1=19      x+2=18+2=20

Check your answer:  18+19+20=57                 57=57  Check

On a trip to a lake, Kerrie and Shelly rode their bicycles four more than three times as many miles in the afternoon as in the m
Natalija [7]

Answer:

27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.

Explanation:

Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning.  They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression

3m+4

to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.

Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:

m+3m+4 = 112

Combine like terms:

4m+4 = 112

Subtract 4 from each side:

4m+4-4= 112-4

4m = 108

Divide both sides by 4:

4m/4 = 108/4

m = 27

They rode 27 miles in the morning.

That means in the afternoon, they rode

3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
