Answer:

62, 63, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle integer of three consecutive integers will be the average of them. That is, it will be their sum, divided by 3.

The middle integer is 189/3 = 63.

The three consecutive integers are 62, 63, 64.

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you'd like to write an equation that tells you the same thing, let x represent the middle integer. Then the lower one is x-1, and the upper one is x+1. Their sum is ...

(x-1) +x +(x+1) = 189

3x = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

x = 189/3 = 63 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

(x-1) = 63-1 = 62 . . . . . . find the other two integers

(x+1) = 63+1 = 64

You need 150g of flour for 12 cakes, how much flour do you need for 30 cakes?

Bogdan [553]

150 g flour for 12 cakes
x g flour for 30 cakes
x = (150 x 30) : 12 = 375 g of flour

another method:

150 flour for 12 cakes
??? for 30 cakes

30 : 12 = 2.5
150 x 2.5 = 375 g flour

(a + b)(a ² - ab + b ²) Please help!

kvasek [131]

Hey there :)

( a + b )( a² - ab + b² )
Let us distribute ( a + b )

a ( a² ) + a ( - ab ) + a ( b² ) + b ( a² ) + b ( - ab ) + b ( b² )
a³ - a²b + ab² + a²b - ab² + b³

We can simplify further:
- a²b + a²b = 0
ab² - ab² = 0

a³ + b³

You can see in the picture I have attached that this is the 7th formula

Explain why |−3| + |9| represents the distance between the points (−3, −5) and (9, −5). brainly

forsale [732]

Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.

When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.

short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
