Help please. I'm stuck

The numbers are 65, 67, and 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find 3 consecutive odd integers.

Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4)

We're given that 5 times the first number + 4 times the second + 3 times the third = 800

Let's make the first number x

Since the second number is consecutive to the first and odd, it will be x+2 (Why? Well, let's say x is 5. In that case, x+1=6, which is even. However, x+2=7)

Therefore, the third number is x+4 (once again, if x is 5, x+3=8, but x+4=9)

5 times the first number is 5x

4 times the second is 4(x+2)

3 times the third is 3(x+4)

And of course, that equals 800

As an equation, it'll be:

5x+4(x+2)+3(x+4)=800

open the parenthesis

5x+4x+8+3x+12=800

combine like terms

12x+20=800

Subtract 20 from both sides

12x=780

Divide by 12 on both sides

x=65

The first number is x, so the first number is 65

The second number is x+2, or 65+2=67

The third number is x+4, or 65+4=69

Hope this helps!

add the table and i will answer correctly

step-by-step explanation:

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
