Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
  x = 237/3
  x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79

Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80

the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81

ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81

Which expression has a value of -2? *<br> O 1-4+121<br> O 121 +1-41<br> O 141-121<br> O 1-21-1-41
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 4 + 121

= -3 + 121

= 118

121 + 1 - 41

= 122 - 41

= 81

141 - 121

= 20

1 - 21 - 1 - 41

= -20 - 1 - 41

= -21 - 41

= -62

None of the expressions have a value of -2.

Angle ABC has point E on ray BA and point D on ray BC. Points E and D are equidistant from point B. To copy angle ABC, which of
arsen [322]

The identified for the construction is the endpoint of rays BA and BC option (C) is correct.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

When two lines or rays converge at the same point, the measurement between them is called a "Angle."

It is given that:

Angle ABC has point E on ray BA and point D on ray BC.

Points E and D are equidistant from point B.

The ED distance because if the distance between E and D is even slightly different, the entire angle ABC will vary.

Thus, the identified for the construction is the endpoint of rays BA and BC option (C) is correct.

Answer:

w = 1/8t

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is basically saying that for every 1 second that passed, 8 oz of water drip steadily into the bucket which can be expressed like this:

8w = t

Since t represents x and w represents y, we can simplify the equation by moving the 8 to the other side

w = 1/8t
