3 consecutive odd integers....x, x + 2, and x + 4
x + x + 4 = 3(x + 2) - 131
2x + 4 = 3x + 6 - 131
2x + 4 = 3x - 125
2x - 3x = - 125 - 4
-x = - 129
x = 129
x + 2 = 129 + 2 = 131
x + 4 = 129 + 4 = 133
so ur 3 odd numbers are : 129,131, and 133 <==
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
-4.9 x 3^2 + 22 x 3 + 5.5 = 27.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If all 21 coins were dimes, she'd have $2.10. But she has 90 more cents than that. Now for each coin that's a quarter, not a dime, she has 15 cents more. 90/15= 6. So there are 6 quarters, and 21-6 = 15 dimes.
Now we do it backwards to see if it's right. 6 quarters is $1.50, 15 dimes is $1.50, add those together and you get $3. So it's right. 6 quarters, 15 dimes.
Steps to solve:
x^3 - 125 = 0
~Add 125 to both sides
x^3 = 125
~Take cube root of both sides
x = 5
Best of Luck!
Answer:
All three.
Step-by-step explanation:
All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:
Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3, so these ratios are equivalent.
Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.
Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.
Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!
