The three consecutive odd numbers are x, x+2, x+4
add up: x+x+2+x+4=255
3x+6=255
3x=249
x=83
83, 85, 87
Answer:
A proportional relationship is something like:
y = k*x
Where k is the constant of proportionality
And a linear relationship is something like:
y = a*x + b
Is easy to see that if:
a = k, and b = 0, this would be a proportional relationship.
Then if we want to have a slope equal to 3, but this must not be a proportional relationship, we must only have b different than 0.
This could be something like:
y = 3*x + 1
The graph of this is:
The answer is D. 35. The x’s cancel out because x divided by x is 1 leaving you with 70/2 which is then 35.
Hope this helped.
