There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
Answer:
The medium-sized can is the cheaper by the oz, and is $0.005 per oz. cheaper.
Step-by-step explanation:
Medium can: $0.92/(46 oz) = $0.020/oz
Large can: $3.60 / (144 oz) = $0.025/oz
Surprisingly, the medium can price per oz. is lower than that of the large can. The difference is $0.005 per oz.
Answer:
-3x-1y
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 3y⇒ -2(4x-y)
⇒-2(4x - y) = -8x +2y
5x - 3y -8x + 2y
<u>Combine like terms:</u>
5x- 8x= -3x
-3y +2y = -1x
<u>-3x - 1y</u>
