Let x= the smaller numberx+3= the larger numberx+(x+3)=742x+3=742x=71x=35.5x+3=38.5
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 7623x + 3 = 7623x + 3 - 3 = 762 - 33x = 7593x/3 = 759/3x = 253; the first numberx + 1 = 253 + 1 = 254; the second numberx + 2 = 253 + 2 = 255; the third numberCheck:
answer is : 58,59working: x= first number, x + 1= second numberx + x + 1 =1172x= 116x= 58
434782.61Let x = the numberx + 15%x = 500000x + 0.15x = 5000001.15x = 5000001.15x/1.15 = 500000/1.15x = 434782.61
2857.14Let x = the numberx - (30% * x) = 2000x - (0.3 * x) = 2000x - 0.3x = 20000.7 x = 20000.7x/0.7 = 2000/0.7x = 2857.14
Let x = the smaller number2x + 4 = the larger numberx + 2x + 4 = 703x + 4 = 703x = 66x = 22 = the smaller number
Let x be the first odd number. So, the second number is x + 2.x + (x + 2) = 482x + 2 = 48 subtract 2 to both sides;2x = 46 divide by 2 to both sides;x = 23, the first odd numberx + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25, the second odd number.
2x + 6 = 12x + 96 6 = 10x + 96 -90 = 10x x = -9

Let the unknown number be x: x-4 = 2x -4 = 2x-x -4 = x So the number is -4
X divided by -Y is the same as -X divided by Y. Or - (X/Y)
x = number Four times the number (4x) is the same as the number increased by 78 (x + 78). Since they are both equal, then 4x = x + 78 4x - x = 78 3x = 78 x = 26
