<em>a = 17</em>
<em>b = 18</em>
<em>c = 19</em>
- <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Hi there ! </em>
<em>a + b + c = 54</em>
<em>b = a + 1</em>
<em>c = a + 2</em>
<em>replace b ; c</em>
<em>a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) = 54</em>
<em>3a = 54 - 3</em>
<em>3a = 51</em>
<em>a = 51 : 3</em>
<em>a = 17</em>
<em>b = 18</em>
<em>c = 19</em>
<em>Good luck !</em>
25 because you do 2+23 and get 25 hope that helped
The beetle ate everything except the front cover of volume one and the back cover of volume four.
The thickness of the front cover of volume one and the back cover of volume four = 0.5 cm + 0.5 cm = 1 cm.
Total distance covered by the books = 4 x 8cm = 32 cm.
Therefore, total distance travelled by the beetle is 32 - 1 = 31 cm.
Which is greater [-3.25] or [4.25]
