Answer:

15, 18, 21, 24, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Five multiples of 3 means we have 5 terms we are adding together to = 105.

For the sake of having something to base each one of these terms on, let's say that the first term is 3.  It's not, but 3 is a multiple of 3 and we have to start somewhere.  These terms go up by the next number that is divisible by 3.  After 3, the next number that is divisible by 3 is 6.  The next one is 9, the next is 12, the last would be 15.

Let's then say that 3 is the first term, and we are going to say that is x.

To get from 3 to 6, we add 3.  Therefore, the second term is x + 3.

To get from 3 to 9, we add 6.  Therefore, the third term is x + 6.

To get from 3 to 12, we add 9.  Therefore, the fourth term is x + 9.

To get from 3 to 15, the last term, we add 12.  Therefore, the last term is x + 12.

The sum of these terms will then be set to equal 105:

x + (x + 3) + ( x + 6) + ( x + 9) + ( x + 12) = 105

We don't need the parenthesis to simplify so we add like terms to get

5x + 30 = 105.  Subtract 30 from both sides to get

5x = 75 so

x = 15

That means that 15 is the first multiple of 3.  

The next one is found by adding 3 to the first:  so 18

The next one is found by adding 6 to the first:  so 21

The next one is found by adding 9 to the first:  so 24

The last one is found by adding 12 to the first:  so 27

15 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 27 = 105

Notice that all the numbers are, in fact, consecutive multiples of 3 as the instructions stated.

Cross Multiply by 'x - 5'
Hence
y(x - 5) = 4 -3x
xy - 5y = 4 - 3x

Move all the terms containing an 'x' to one side of the equals and all the others to the opposite side.
xy + 3x = 4 + 5y
Factor out 'x'
x(y + 3) = 4 + 5y
'Cross' divide by 'y + 3'
x = ( 4 + 5y) / (y + 3 )

'x' is now the subject.

What is the image of point (4, 3) if the rotation is -270º ?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

OK so you point is y=4 and x=3 so plot that on a x,y graph. Then to turn it -270 degrees you need to clock wise. normally you would just go counter clock wise but since your rotation is negative you go counter clock wise. hope this helped!!

Find the area of the lateral faces of the right triangular prism with altitude of 5 cm and base edges of length 3 cm, 4 cm, and
spayn [35]
We know that
area of lateral faces of the <span>right triangular prism=perimeter of base*height

perimeter of the base=[3+4+5]----> 12 cm
height of the prism=5 cm
so
</span>area of lateral faces of the right triangular prism=12 cm*5 cm---> 60 cm²

the answer is
60 cm²
