The sum of three consecutive whole numbers is 18. what is the greatest of the numbers?

7 is the greatest number

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to consider that our first number is X

This means that the second number is X+1 and the third number is x+2

If we add all the numbers we get

x + x+1 + x+ 2 = 18   (Since the sum must be 18)

We get

3x + 3 = 18   (We substract 3 on both sides)

3x +3 - 3 = 18 - 3

3x = 15  (We divide by 3 on both sides)

x= 5  (This is the smallest number)

The numbers are 5, 6 and 7. The greatest is 7.

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
