Answer:
impossible
Step-by-step explanation:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 56. To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract 3 from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. ...
3X + 3 = 56. 3X + 3 - 3 = 56 - 3.
3X = 53. 3X/3 = 53/3.
X = 17 2/3. Since 17 2/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.
My guess is he gets heads about half the time
There is no one answer (ordered pair) to this equation and the answer is found by graphing or trying out different values for each variable. Anyway, here are some solutions; (1,0), (4,1), (0,-1/3).
78 = 2 x 3 x 13
1 x 78
2 x 39 = 78
3 x 26=78
6 x 13 = 78
larger number is 13
16 is correct
and so is negitive 8
