We have that (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 126 so 3x + 6 = 126 can be used to find the first integer.
3x + 6 = 126
3x = 120
x = 40
The numbers are 40, 42, 44
Answer:
22 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there. I need points lol
Let x be the amount each friend pays
.
There are five friends contributing ,so
5x will be the total money collected
.
It needs to equal the price plus the tax, 210 + 15
= 225
So the equation becomes,
5x = 225
dividing right side by 5, we have
x = 225/5 = 45
Answer: So each frien pays $45.
4x -3y + z = -10...............(1)
2x +y + 3z = 0...............(2)
-x +2y - 5z = 17...............(3)
First we multiply 3*(2) and add it to (1)
6x +3y +9z =0..................+(1)..................> 10x + 10z = -10......(4)
Then we multiply -2*(2) and add it to (3)
-4x -2y -6z =0 ...................+(3)................> -5x -11z = 17...........(5)
Multiply 2*(5) and add it to (4)
-10x -22z = 34...................+(4).................> -12 z = 24 ..............>>> z = -2
Substitute z in (4)............> 10x +10(-2) = -10.............................>>> x = 1
Substitute x and z in (2).....> 2(1) +y + 3(-2) = 0..................>>> y = 4
Solution (x,y,z) = (1,4,-2)
