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}.

Can u guys PLEASE answer this question ASAP. A line passes through the point (2,4) and has a gradient 2. Find the y-coordinate o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation of straight line by using the formula :y= mx+c

put the x-value of point (2,4) which is 2 and the gradient,m which is 2 into the straight line equation:

y=2x +c

So you need to find the y-intercept to complete the equation, therefore:

when y=0,

0=2(2)+c

c=-4

next the question ask to find the y-coordinate when x =3, therefore you just need to replace x in the equation with 3:

y=2(3)-4

y=4
