Find three consecutive integers that have an average of 53
saw5 [17]
Consecutive intergers are 1 away from each other so
numbers are
x,x+1,x+2

average is found by adding the numbers up and dividng the total by the number of numbers you have
so we add x+x+1+x+2 up and divide it by 3 (3 numbers)
x+x+1+x+2=x+x+x+1+2=3x+3
(3x+3)/3=53
[3(1x+1)]/3=53
3/3 times 1x+1=52
1x+1=53
subtract 1 from both sides
x=52

subsitute
x+1 is the second
x+2 is the third
x+1=52+1=53
x+2=52+2=54

numbers are 52,53,54

The length of the floor is 32 m longed than it’s witdth and there is greater than 200 square meters. You will cover the floor co
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the floor A = Length * Width

Given

A = 200 square meters

If the length of the floor is 32 m longed than it’s width then;

L = 32+W

A = LW

200 = (32+W)W

200 = 32W + W²

W²+32W-200 = 0

W = -32±√32²+800/2

W = -32±42.71/2

W =  -32+42.71/2

W = 10.71/2

W = 5.35 m

L = 32+5.35

L = 37.35m

Hence the dimension is  5.35ft by 37.35m

1/3(6x-15)=1/2(10x-4) solve for x
Tatiana [17]

Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3

6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Factor out the common term; 3

3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Cancel out 3

2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2

2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2

Factor out the common term; 2

2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2

Cancel out 2

2x - 5 = 5x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x

Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2

-5 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

-5 + 2 = 3x

Simplify -5 + 2 to -3

-3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>
