The best estimate of the solution to this system of equations is about (23,14)
angles x y z are all acute because they are less than 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:
The graph below shows the ages of the top five male finishers in the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb each year from 2017 through 2021.
1. Write the relation of this situation as a set of ordered pairs in terms of (age, finishing place).
2. Identify the domain and range of the relation.
3. Do the ordered pairs represent a function? Explain.
Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
