Answer:
144,148,152
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we will have, 4x + 4(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 444
=> x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 111 (dividing both sides by 4)
=>x + x+1 + x+2 =111
=> 3x + 3 = 111
=> 3x = 108
=> x = 36.
So, the three desired numbers 4x, 4(x+1) and 4(x+2) are,
4*36, 4*(36+1) and 4*(36+2)
That means the numbers are, 144, 148 and 152.
Set up an equation:
0.75x = 18
Divide both sides by 0.75:
x = 18/0.75
x = 24
Answer: 24
3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
x = 6
Starting equation:
92=J+L+B
To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1
Enter those equations in the problem
92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L
Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43
side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have
