Consecutive means in order. So let's call the first integer x. The next number in line would be x+1 and the largest integer would be x+2. Let's prove that so you're not confused. If x is 3, then x+1 is 4 (next in line), and x+2 is 5 next after that. See? So if we add all those together we set them equal to 267 and solve for x: x + x+1 + x+2 = 267. Combining like terms gives us 3x + 3 = 267 and 3x = 264. Now dividing both sides by 3 we get that x = 88. That's the smallest integer; the largest is found by adding 88 + 2 which is 90. So that means that the numbers are 88, 89, 90, and that adding them up = 267. Let's check that now: 88+89+90=267 so we're good.
Answer:
17 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 12 cm + 5 cm. is 17 cm.
The absolute value of a real number is a positive value of the number. Which means that the absolute value is the distance from zero of the number line. However, that of the complex numbers is the distance from the origin to the point in a complex plane.
