Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 13 more than twice the largest of the three integers.

Answer:

15, 17, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive odd integers can be represented by

x,  x + 2,  x + 4.  You add 2 to each one to get the next one. Fun fact: you would do the same thing if the problem said the integers were even!

The largest integer is x + 4, so the sentence in the problem translates to an equation (sum means to add the integers together):

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2(x + 4) + 13

Distribute the 2, then combine like terms.

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2x + 8 + 13

3x + 6 = 2x + 21

Subtract 2x.

x + 6 = 21

Subtract 6.

x = 15

The integers requested are 15, 17, 19.

Check:  Their sum is 51, which is 13 more than twice 19.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

difference in the proportion = 0.0452

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = 27, n1 = 193,

p1 = 27/193

p1 = 0.1399

x2 = 16, n2 = 169,

p2 = 16/169

p2 = 0.0947

a) The best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers, using male proportion minus female proportion is 0.0452. Male smokes more than females in given sample.

p1 - p2 = 0.1399 - 0.0947

p1 - p2 = 0.0452

1.)<br> What is the solution to the system of equations below?<br> y = 2x + 8<br> 3(-2x + y) = 19
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

6x + 3y = 19

6x + 3(2x + 8) = 19

6x + 6x + 24 = 19

12x = -5

x = -5/12

y = 2(-5/12) + 8

y = -5/6 + 48/6

y = 43/6
