The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. What is the smallest of
these numbers?

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72
x+ (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
3x = 72
x + y + z =72

The smallest number is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number

x+1 is the next consecutive number

x+2 is the next consecutive number

The sum is

x+ x+1 + x+2 = 72

Combine like terms

3x+3 = 72

subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = 72-3

3x = 69

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 69/3

x = 23

x+1 = 24

x+2 =25

The numbers are

23,24,25

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !

answer: haha (: i’ll go see what it is
