Find three consecutive numbers if their sum is 3n

n-1,n,n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x,x+1,x+2

x+x+1+x+2=3n

3x+3=3n

3x=3n-3

x=1/3 (3n-3)=n-1

so mumbers are n-1,n,n+1

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
