There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
Hi,
AxB = 0 means A=0. or B=0
so 2 solutions :
4x-3= 0
4x=3
x = 3/4
and x+2 = 0.
x= -2
solutions are : -2 +and 3/4
1 hour = 60 minutes.
Convert the minutes to decimals by diving by 60
30/60 = 0.5
2 hours and 30 minutes = 2.5 hours
45/60 = 0.75
5 hours 45 minutes = 5.75 hours
15/50 = 0.25
3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours
Ow add all the hours:
2.5 + 5 + 5.75 + 3.25 = 16.5 hours
Answer: B. 16.50
Answer is provided in the image attached.
The first one is (4) The second one is (-6) I'm not 101% sure but yeah.
