The Sum Of 3 Consecutive integers is 138, What Are The Integers?

Let's call the consecutive integers a, a+1, and a+2.
they add up to 138: a+(a+1)+(a+2)=3a+3=138
now you have an equation: 3a+3=138
subtract 3 from both sides: 3a=135
divide both sides by 3: a=45
so the consecutive integers are 45, 46, and 47

If the integers were all the same, then each one would be 1/3 of 138 = 46 .

They're not all the same, but they're consecutive, so you can find them easily.
Just start with your 3 copies of 46, take ' 1' away from one copy, and add it
to another one. You haven't changed their sum. You just made one of your
copies 1 less than 46, and you made another one of them 1 more than 46. 
Now you have 45, 46, and 47, and that sure looks like an answer to me.
Isn't that easy ... you only had to use some brain instead of a lot of messy
algebra.  That's what 'Brainly' might be all about, I guess.

Which points are reflections of each other across both the y-axis
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Reflect over the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

Notice that B is 5 horizontal units to the right of the y-axis, and B' is 5 horizontal units to the left of the y-axis.

The reflection of the point (x,y) across

the y-axis is the point (-x,y).

velikii [3]
<span>The first step in determining the answer will need to be to convert the weight from imperial to metric. 12lbs ~ 5.44311kg Then we need to look at the total amount of amoxicillin needed. At 5mg/kg is ~27.5mg twice per day. The concentration is 50mg per ml. Knowing that the cat needs around 55mg, that leads us to 1.1ml daily.</span>
