Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The easy way to set this up is to make the smallest number x - 1. You will see why in a moment. It cuts down on one step)

Equation

(x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 96                Remove the brackets

Solution

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 96                   Combine like terms

3x = 96                                       Divide by 3

x = 32

Note: that is not the smallest number. Remember, the smallest number is x - 1

So the smallest number is 31

I need help with letter B, please!
Gala2k [10]

So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]

If the x-axis <u>does not have to</u> follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's  [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]

y = 7x + 50

y = 2x + 175

First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15      Then draw a straight line.

The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225)  The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225
