The greatest common factor of these three numbers is 4.

In order to find this, we start with factors of the smallest number (12). The factors are listed below.

12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1

Now we start with the biggest and work our way down until we find something that goes into all 3.

12 does not go in evenly to either 44 or 28, so we can't use that.

6 does not go in evenly to either 44 or 28, so we can't use that.

4 goes in evenly to both as seen below:

44/4 = 11

28/4 = 7

Therefore, 4 is the greatest common factor.

What are three consecutive integers whose product is 480 more than their sum?

Natali [406]

Answer:

The three numbers are 7 8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first number be n - 1
Let the second number be n
Let the third number = n + 1

Equation

(n - 1)(n)(n + 1) - (n-1 + n + n+1) = 480

Solution

Multiply (n - 1) and (n + 1) = (n - 1)*(n + 1) = n^2 - 1

Multiply the second integer by the result of the first and third: n (n^2 - 1)

Add the three integers together: (x - 1) + (n - 1) + n = 3n Combine these 2 steps

n(n^2 - 1) - 3n = 480 Remove the brackets

n^3 - n - 3n = 480

n^3 - 4n = 480

n^3 - 4n - 480 = 0

Graph

The graph shows that the intercept point is n =8. This is the only way I can see to solve this cubic. There are no other real roots.

Answer

n - 1 = 7

n = 8

n + 1 = 9

Check

Product 7*8*9 = 504

Sum = 7 + 8 + 9 = 24

504 - 24 = 480 Which checks.

Please help! Find the equation of the line and I will mark as brainliest IF answer is right. <3

Hoochie [10]

<h3>Answer: y = (3/4)x + 13/4</h3>

This is the same as writing y = 0.75x + 3.25

slope is 3/4 = 0.75

y intercept is 13/4 = 3.25

==========================================================

Explanation:

One marked point on this line is (-3,1)

Another point is at (1,4)

Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-1)/(1-(-3))

m = (4-1)/(1+3)

m = 3/4

m = 0.75

Now let's use point slope form to find the equation of the line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 0.75(x - (-3))

y - 1 = 0.75(x + 3)

y - 1 = 0.75x + 2.25

y = 0.75x + 2.25 + 1

y = 0.75x + 3.25

If you wanted, you can convert those decimal values to fraction form

0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4
3.25 = 325/100 = 13/4

That means the equation

y = 0.75x + 3.25

is the same as

y = (3/4)x + 13/4

Answer:

Y = W = 15 ft.

X= L = 60 ft.

So width is 15 and the length is 60.
