Algebra

1) 8

Because- 5*8= 40

40+7= 47

2) Let us consider the two consecutive numbers to be x and x + 1.

X + x + 1= 65

2x + 1= 65

2x= 65-1
2x= 64

X= 64/2
X= 32

X + 1= 32 + 1

= 33

Numbers 32 and 33.

3) First basket X
Second basket Y
 X+Y= 96

Y= X+28

X + x + 28 = 96
2X= 96 – 28

X= 34

Y= 34 + 28= 62

So, one bucket has 34 and another has 62.

4) x + x + 1 + x +2 = 42
3x+3 = 42
3x = 42-3
3x = 39
x = 39/3
x = 13
So, the numbers are 13, 13+1 and 13+2
13,14,15
