Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Ap3x
Plug in -7 for x in the equation...
f(x) = 3 - 2( - 7 )
f(x) = 3 + 14
f(x) = 17
Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Three consecutive numbers means three numbers in a row, so if n is the first number, the second number is one more than n (which is n+1) and the third number is one more than that (which is n+2)
So three times (3 x) the first number (n) is equal to (=) nine more than (9 +) the sum of the other two ( (n+1) + (n+2) )
3 times n can be written as 3n
So 3n = 9 + (n+1) + (n+2)
3n = 9 + n + 1 + n + 2
3n = 9 + 1 + 2 + n + n
3n = 12 + 2n
Subtract 2n from each side
3n - 2n = 12 + 2n - 2n
1n = 12
n = 12
So the first number is 12, the second number is 12 + 1 (13) and the third number is 12 + 2 (14)
The numbers are 12, 13, 14
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
my best guess is answer choice c.
X-20 = Y+20........ X-Y = 20+20........
X-Y = 40
AND
2Y-44=X+22............. Y-X= 44+22
Y-X=66
NOW, LET'S FIND X AND Y FROM THESE TWO EQUATIONS....
X-Y =40
Y-X= 66
IF WE COLLECT ....... 2Y = 106 AND Y = 53
THEN, USE Y IN ANY EQUATIONS FOR FINDING X
X-53 = 40 ..... X= 53+40 .......... X= 93
X= 93
Y=53
