Answer: 92, 93, and 94

Step-by-step explanation: The problem is asking us to find three consecutive integers that have a sum of 279. Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

X + 2 ⇒ third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 279, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 279

We can simplify on the left side of the equation.

3x + 3 = 279

-3 -3 ← subtract 3 on both sides

3x = 276

÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3

X → 92

X + 1 → 93

X + 2 → 94

Therefore, our three consecutive integers are 92, 93, and 94.

Answer:

92, 93, 94

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

Three consecutive integers would be x, (x+1), (x+2)

so,

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 279

⇒ x+x+1+x+2= 279

⇒3x+3 = 279

subtract 3 from both sides

⇒3x = 276

divide both sides by 3

⇒x =276/3

∴x = 92

so,

The integers are-

x=92

x+1 =92+1 =93

x+2 = 92+1=94

D.
slope = -3
passing thru(4,3)
y = mx + b
3 = -3(4) + b
b = 15

equation
y = -3x + 15

E.
(4,5)(6,9)
slope = (9-5)/(6-4) = 4/2 = 2
passing thru (4,5)(6,9)
y = mx + b
5 = 2(4) + b
b = -3

equation
y = 2x - 3

valkas [14]

Since there were 6 slices, and he ate 1/3, 6*1/3= 2, so he ate 2 slices

Explain in your own words how a rocket is able to lift off

fredd [130]

When the rocket accelerates up, the thrust is greater than the combined lift and drag, therefore making it go upward. Thrust from the engine / or whatever the power source is makes it lift.

Hope that helps!

Question:

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0

Answer:

The number of real solutions for the equation $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ is zero

Solution:

For a Quadratic Equation of form : $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ ---- eqn 1

The solution is $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now , the given Quadratic Equation is $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ ---- eqn 2

On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get

a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7

In $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ , $b^2 - 4ac$ is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation

Its value determines the nature of roots

Now, here are the rules with discriminants:

1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation

2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation

3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation

Now let solve for given equation

$D= b^2 - 4ac\\\\D = 5^2 - 4(1)(7)\\\\D = 25 - 28 \\\\D = -3$

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.

How to do -7x-3x+2=8x-8

zavuch27 [327]

If you would like to solve the equation - 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

- 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8
- 7 * x - 3 * x - 8 * x = - 8 - 2
- 18 * x = - 10 /(-18)
x = 10 / 18
x = 5/9

The correct result would be 5/9.
