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.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-4, 6) and (-6, 20)?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 20-6)/(-6- -4)

    = ( 20-6)/ ( -6+4)

    = 14/-2

    = -7

Solve for x -3x+6=2x-24<br><br>-30<br><br>-6 <br><br>6<br><br>30
Svetach [21]

-3x + 6 = 2x - 24.

Add 3x to both sides.

6 = 5x - 24.

Add 24 to both sides.

30 = 5x.

Divide it all by 5.

<em><u>x = 6.</u></em>
