Answer:

x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4 + x+5 + x+6 =217

7x+21=217

7x=196

x=28

Middle Number will be:

x+3

28+3

=31

Therefore, the middle number is 31.

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put this into equation form.

n + (n + 1) + (n+2) + (n+3) + (n+4) + (n + 5) + (n+6) = 217

<em />

<em>Each number is increasingly getting farther away from n (the first number) by 1.</em>

<em />

If we simplify, by adding all of the numbers and the n's. We get:

7n + 21 = 217


Let's subtract 21 from both sides to start the process of isolating x.

7n = 196

Now we can divide both sides by 7, to isolate x.

n = 28.

That looks like the answer, but it is not. Remember n is the <em>first number</em>, we want the middle, which out of 7 is the <em>4th number</em>.

The 4th number is equal to (n+3) or (28 + 3)

The 4th number is 31.

Let's check if this is correct.

28 + 29 + 30 + 31 + 32 + 33 + 34 = 217.

The problem is complete.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The set of needed equations is

h = 30 m

11 m +  3  h = 909  where

the driver drove for m hours.

h : distance covered in m hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

The per hour rate of driver  = $11

The gas maintenance expense = $3 per mile.

The total distance covered by drives is 30 miles per hour.

The total  expenses paid to driver  = $909

Now, let us assume the driver drove for m hours.

The average speed of driver was 30 miles / hour

⇒ Driver covers 30 miles in 1 hour

SO, distance covered in m hours  = h = m x 30 = 30 m

or, h = 30 m

So,according to the question, the total amount paid :

Charges of m hours driving + maintenance charges for h miles

= 11 m + 3( h)

or, 11 m +  3  h = $909

Hence the set of needed equations is

h = 30 m

11 m +  3  h = 909

!!!!!!!please help!!!!!!!!
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The first one is No. The second one I do not know unfortunately.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am in the middle of this lesson in my math class as well and I know that in order to make a triangle, you need the two smaller sides to add up to become larger than the biggest side. In the case of the first question, the two smaller sides, 6 and 3 equal 9, which is not bigger than the biggest side which is 10. I hope you can find the answer to the second one, but for now, the first one is No.

Find the product.<br><br> (-5a ^2)^3·a ^5<br><br> A)-15a10<br> B)-125a11<br> C)15a6<br> D)-125a10
Ber [7]

Answer:

  B)  -125a^11

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

  = (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5

  = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

  = -125·a^(6+5)

  = -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)
