Hey, it’s very easy. You just need to do like that:
z-2z-3=-7
z-2z= -7+3
-1z = -4 | : (-1)
z = 4
The answer is 4.
Call n, the first of those consecutive terms, then three consecutive terms are:n, n +1, and n +2.
So, the equation will be n + (n +1) + (n +2) = 467
=> n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 467
=> 3n + 3 = 467
All of them are valid forms of the equation for the sum of three consecutive integers is 467.
You can solve it now, if you want:
3n = 467 - 3
3n = 464
n = 464 / 3
n = 154.6
The solution means that there are not three consecutive numbers whose sume is 467.
You can verifiy that if you take 154 + 155 + 156 = 465
And 155 + 156 + 157 = 468
Use the
on your calculator. Also make sure the calculator is in degree mode. You should get 23.32°
D. y = 9 because it has a complete zero slope while the y-intercept of the equation is 9, so the equation is y = 9.
