1 answer:

5 0

Consecutive integers are one apart from each tother
they are
x,x+1,x+2

sum is -30
x+x+1+x+2=-30
3x+3=-30
minus 3 both sides
3x=-33
divide 3
x=-11

find rest
x+1=-11+1=-10
x+2=-11+2=-9

they are
-9,-10,-11

A laptop computer is purchased for $2000. After each year, the resale value decreases by 25%. What will the resale value be afte

wel

Answer:

2000? ... assume $2000

Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)t/yr

where: t = number of year after purchase

at t = 3 yr

Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)3 = $843.75

checking: at t = 0 $2000 (purchase price)

at t = 1 yr $2000 - 0.25*$2000 = $2000 - $500 = $1500

at t = 2 yr $1500 - 0.25*$1500 = $1500 - $375 = $1125

at t = 3 yr $1125 - 0.25*$1125 = $1125 - $281.25 = $843.75

Omar has 2-5/8 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling, how many whole dumplings can Oma

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings = x = 2 $\dfrac{5}{8}$

i.e x = $\dfrac{16 + 5}{8}$

or, x = $\dfrac{21}{8}$

Again

The number of cups uses for each dumpling = y = $\dfrac{3}{16}$

i.e y = $\dfrac{3}{16}$

Let The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z

So, number of whole dumpling does Omar make = $\dfrac{\textrm number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings}{number of cups uses for each dumpling }$

Or, z = $\dfrac{x}{y}$

Or, z = $\frac{\frac{21}{8}}{\frac{3}{16}}$

Or, z = $\frac{21\times 16}{8\times 3}$

∴ z = 7 × 2

i.e z = 14

So, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z = 14

Hence, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 . Answer
