<span>The difference between two integers is at most 16
x1 - big integer
x2- small integer

</span><span>the smaller integer is 12
so
x2 = 12
substitution
</span>
<span>

solve for x1
however, note the fact larger
thus meaning
x1 > x2 applies to this problem

Answer:
- 3n+6 (n = smallest)
- 3n (n = middle)
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual method for doing this is to let n represent the smallest one. Then the three integers are ...
n, n+2, and n+4
and their sum is ...
(n) +(n+2) +(n+4) = 3n+6 . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = smallest)
_____
Personally, for consecutive number problems, I prefer to let the variable represent the average value. If n is the average value of 3 consecutive odd integers, is is the middle integer. Of course, the sum will be 3 times the average:
(n-2) +(n) +(n+2) = 3n . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = middle one)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
x is alternate exterior angles and y is 180 - x
The answer is x=11
4x-30=14
You add 30 to each side=4x=44
Then you divide 44 by 4 which=11
