In a kennel a cocker spaniel, bulldog,and a greyhound all give birth to litters. the number of pups in the litters are consecutive integers( in the order: cocker spaniel, bulldog, and greyhound.) the first integer increased by twice the second exceeds the third by 10. how many puppies does each dog have? use the five step method.
i really hope u can help me thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This question is from textbook algebra 1 an integrated approach
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the first integer increased by twice the second exceeds the third by 10. how many puppies does each dog have?
:
Three consecutive integers; x, (x+1), (x+2)
the equation
x + 2(x+1) = (x+2) + 10
x + 2x + 2 = x + 2 + 10
3x + 2 = x + 12
3x - x = 12 - 2
2x = 10
x =
x = 5, 1st integer
then obviously 6, and 7
