Can someone help me Translate the 4 statements below into mathematical equations.?

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 39.

The Perimeter of a rectangle is 600. The length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width.

Mrs. Gardner went to the market. She purchased some lettuce heads and some tomatoes. There were 12 items purchased. She bought twice as many tomatoes as lettuce heads.

3 times the first of three consecutive numbers is 4 more than 2 times the second.

Favorite Answer

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 39

3x + 6 = 39

3x = 33

x = 11

answer: 11,13,15

—————————-

L = 3W + 2

P = 2L + 2W

600 = 2 (3W + 2) + 2W

600 = 8W + 4

596 = 8W

W = 74.5

L = 225.5

————————-

T = 2L

2L + L = 12

3L = 12

L = 4

T = 8

————————–

x 1st#, (x + 1) 2nd, (x + 2) 3rd

3x = 2 (x + 1) + 4

3x = 2x + 6

x = 6

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=39 ; x is the smallest odd no

2w+2(2+3w)=600 ; w is the width of the rectangle

2x+x=12 ; x is the no of lettuce heads

3x=4+2(x+1); x is the smallest of the consecutive integers

I’ll Try

1) 39=X+(x-2)+(x-4) or 39=3X-6 or 45=3x or x=15; so

15+13+11 = 33

2)If the width is w and the length is l; then 2w+2L=600; and since l=2*(3W); then 2w+2*(2*(3W))=600 then w=? you do the math.

3)If lettuce is L and Tomatoes is T then T+L=12 or and L=2T so 3T=12

and you lost me on the 4th

The sum of three consecutive ordinary numbers is 39. x+(x+2)+(x+4)=39 the fringe of a rectangle is six hundred. The length of the rectangle is two extra suitable than three times the width. 2(w+(3w+2))=six hundred Mrs. Gardner went to the marketplace. She bought some lettuce heads and a few tomatoes. there have been 12 products bought. She bought two times as many tomatoes as lettuce heads. t+2t=12 three times the 1st of three consecutive numbers is 4 extra suitable than 2 situations the 2nd. 3(x+x+a million+x+2)=2(x+a million)+4
