This problem states that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 63 and it asks us to find the largest integer.

Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 24, we can write an equation.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 63

We can simplify our equation on the left and it will read...

<h2>3x + 3 = 63</h2><h2>       -3    -3</h2><h2></h2><h2>3x = 60</h2><h2> ÷3   ÷3             ← divide both sides by 3</h2><h2></h2><h2>X = 20</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = X + 2</h2><h2>20 + 2 = 22</h2><h2></h2><h2>Largest integer = 22</h2>

A cruise left port A and traveled towards port B 225 km away. After 1.5 hours of travel, the cruise was stopped for a half an ho
Softa [21]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

v = the original speed of the cruise

d = 225 km the distance passed

t = d/v = 225/v the total time of the travel

v*1.5 + (v + 10)(d/v - 1.5 - 0.5) = d (using the formula distance = speed*time)

1.5v + (v + 10)(225/v - 2) = 225

How would you solve 3x^2-12=0?
Gennadij [26K]

                                                                                 3x^2 - 12  =  0

Personally, I would divide each side by 3                x^2 - 4  =  0

Then I would add 4 to each side                              x^2        =  4

Then I would take the square root of each side:     x  =  +4
                                                                                     x  =  -4 .

Having found both solutions, I would relax with a cup of tea.

Chloe and tino have a combined age of 48. three years ago chloe was double the age tino is now. find tinos age
jeka94

As  given Chole and Tinos age , the present age of Tino is equal to 15 years.

As given,

Let x and y be the present age of Chole and Tino. respectively.

Combined age = 48

Given condition,

x + y = 48 _______(1)

Three years ago

x - 3 = 2y

⇒x =2y +3 _______(2)

Substitute the value of x in (1),

2y+3 +y =48

⇒ 3y = 45

⇒ y = 15years

Therefore , as given Chole and Tinos age , the present age of Tino is equal to 15 years.

Which represents the solution(s) of the system of equations, y = x2 – 2x – 15 and y = 8x – 40? Determine the solution set algebr
almond37 [142]

Answer:

(5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x² - 2x - 15 → (1)

y = 8x - 40 → (2)

Substitute y = x² - 2x - 15 into (2)

x² - 2x - 15 = 8x - 40 ( subtract 8x - 40 from both sides )

x² - 10x + 25 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 5)² = 0 ← in factored form, thus

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = 8(5) - 40 = 40 - 40 = 0

Solution is (5, 0 )
