There are three consecutive integers such that the sum of the two smallest integers is 17 less than three times the largest.What

is the smallest integer

6 0

ANSWER:

Let the smallest integer = x

x + x + 1 = 3 ( x + 2 ) - 17

2x + 1 = 3x + 6 - 17

2x - 3x = 6 - 17 - 1

- x = - 12

x = 12

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the smallest integer is 12.

Convert Fractions To Mixed Numbers:

$-1 \ \frac{3}{7}$ = $\frac{-10}{7}$

$-3 \ \frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{-11}{3}$

Multiply Across:

$\frac{-10 \ * \ -11}{7 * 3}$

= $\frac{110}{21}$

Simplify:

= $5 \ \frac{5}{21}$

$\boxed{[|] \ Eclipsed \ [|]}$

Answer:

$t = 0.875$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<u>Brand A</u> <u>Brand B</u>

$n_ 1= 12$ $n_2 = 12$

$\bar x_1 = 21.8$ $\bar x_2 = 18.9$

$\sigma_1 = 8.7$ $\sigma_2 = 7.5$

Required

Determine the test statistic (t)

This is calculated as:

$t = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2}}}$

Calculate s using:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)*\sigma_1^2+(n_2-1)*\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}$

The equation becomes:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(12-1)*8.7^2+(12-1)*7.5^2}{12+12-2}}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{1451.34}{22}}$

$s = \sqrt{65.97}$

$s = 8.12$

So:

$t = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2}}}$

$t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12}}}$

$t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{6}}}$

$t = \frac{21.8 - 18.9}{8.12 * 0.408}}$

$t = \frac{2.9}{3.31296}}$

$t = 0.875$
