The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 40 what is the third number in this sequence?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40 The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40 8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6 Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34 10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

hg(x) means you multiply h(x) times g(x) and then we will set it equal to $3x^2+x-1$ .

hg(x) = $x^2(x+2)$ which simplifies to

$x^3+2x^2$ . Now set that equal to $3x^2+x-1$ :

$x^3+2x^2=3x^2+x-1$ and get everything on the same side and factor:

$x^3-x^2-x+1=0$ . Factor by grouping:

$(x^3-x^2)-(x+1)=0$ and factor out what's common in each set of ( ):

$x^2(x-1)-1(x-1)=0$ which factors out to

$(x^2-1)(x-1)=0$ . But $x^2-1$ factors somoe to:

(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 So the solutions for this are

x = -1, 1

The number of miles driven is proportional to the gallons of gasoline used. The graph shows this relationship. What is the unit

slamgirl [31]

I think the answer is 9.5 because that is the only number that can be multiplied by 4 that gives you 38.
(4,38) = y=9.5x

45% = 0.45

1.00 - 0.45 = 0.55

$69 x 0.55 = 37.95
