Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3
y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5
So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.
You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
Then c = 22 just keep adding 7
8+7=15 15+7=22
Answer:
9:5 = 1428:x
ratios can also be written as fractions, so
9/5 = 1428/x
solve for x
9/5 × x = 1428
x = 1428 / (9/5)
x = 918
