Three consecutive numbers are x, x+1 and x+2.
Four times the first integer is 4x
The sum of the second and third is (x+1)+(x+2)=2x+3.
So, we have
Subtract 2x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
So, you can't have three consecutive integers such that four times the first is 18 more than the sum of the other two: the three numbers would be 10.5, 11.5, 12.5.
In fact, you have
and
Answer:
y=.1x+40; Your total monthly bill is $48 for 80 text messages.
Step-by-step explanation:
y is your total bill
x represents each text message
40 is you cellphone bill cost
.1 is the cost per text message
(y=.1x+40 becomes your equation)
plug 80 to represent "x"
y=.1*80+40 ---> y=48
your total monthly bill is $48
Answer:
<em>(a). - 1 ; (b). y = - x + 11</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(1, 10)
(6, 5)
<em>(a).</em> <em>m</em> = 
= 
= <em>- 1</em>
<em>(b).</em> y - 5 = - 1(x - 6)
<em>y = - x + 11</em>
(x+4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 4
Which means, radius is 2, center is (-4,3)
