The sum of four consecutive integers is 286. Find the four integers

1 answer:

3 0

Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)= 286

Step 2: Take out the parentheses.
x+x+1+x+2+x+3= 286

Step 3: Combine like terms.
4x+6= 286

Step 4: Subtract 6 from both sides.
4x+6 -6= 286 -6

Step 5: Divide 4 on both sides.
4x/4 = 280/4

x=70

Which means the answer is 70, 71, 72, 73

Check Work:
70+71+72+73= 286

So this is correct :)

Answer:

The surface area of door is 33 680 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the surface area of a cuboid which is the 3D of rectangle is :

$s.a = 2(l \times w) + 2(l \times h) + 2(w \times h)$

$let \: l = 80 \\ let \: w = 3 \\ let \: h = 200$

$s.a = 2(80 \times 3) + 2(80 \times 200) + 2(3 \times 200)$

$s.a = 2(240) + 2(16000) + 2(600)$

$s.a = 480 + 32000 + 1200$

$s.a = 33680 \: {cm}^{2}$

Answer a, b and c. See image below

Answer:

a) 3/5 < 4/5

b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.

c) $\frac{7}{10} > \frac{9}{15}$ or $\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3/5 < 4/5

Flip the sign and the placement of the fraction so 3/5 is less then 4/5.

b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.

c) We need to change the denominators to a common denominator to compare the size of the two fractions:

$\frac{7}{10}$ × $\frac{3}{3}$ = $\frac{21}{30}$
