Answer:

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be represented by x. The middle number is x+1, and the largest number is x+2.

The product of the smaller and larger number is (x)(x+2).

15 more than 6 times the middle number is 6(x+1)+15.

(x)(x+2)=6(x+1)+15

x^2+2x=6x+6+15

x^2+2x=6x+21

x^2-4x-21=0

(x-7)(x+3)=0

x=-3 or x=7

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform PQR into P'Q'R, dilate the preimage by 1/4, or shrink it by a scale factor of 4 because 3/12 = 1/4

Y=2/3x-2(-3,4)
kodGreya [7K]

y = (2/3)x + 6

because the slope stays the same because it is parallel and to get the y intercept you plug in -3 for x into the equation (2/3)x +? =4 and ?=6 so that gives you the equation y = (2/3)x + 6
