The sum of three consecutive numbers is 240. Find the three numbers. (Hint: LEt x stand for the smallest number. Since the numbers are consecutive, add one to get the second number and add 2 to get the third number

79, 80, 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation using the information given. I chose to use the middle value as my x value. The equation is:

x + (x + 1) + (x - 1) = 240

You can get rid of the parenthesis and simplify the equation. The positive one is cancelled out by the negative one so you are left with x + x + x = 240 or it can be rewritten to get 3x = 240.

3x = 240

Divide both sides by 3

x = 80

Since I used x to be the middle number, I can find the other 2 numbers by adding and subtracting one.

79 + 80 + 81 = 240

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
