let "a number" = x

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72

Simplify. Combine like terms

3x + 3 = 72

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

3x + 3 (-3) = 72 (-3)

3x = 72 - 3

3x =  69

3x/3 = 69/3

x = 69/3

x = 23

23 is the smallest number

hope this helps

x , x+1, x+2

then  your sum would be   x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 72

so now just add em up

3x + 3 = 72

x = 69 / 3

x = 23

Hope this helps!

Expand (2x + 3)^5 using the Binomial Theorem and Pascal’s triangle. Show all steps.
kari74 [83]

Answer:

32x⁵ + 240x⁴ + 720x³ + 1080x² + 810x + 243

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 3)⁵

₅C₀ (2x)⁵ (3)⁰ + ₅C₁ (2x)⁴ (3)¹ + ₅C₂ (2x)³ (3)² + ₅C₃ (2x)² (3)³ + ₅C₄ (2x)¹ (3)⁴ + ₅C₅ (2x)⁰ (3)⁵

Use Pascal's triangle to find nCr.

\left\begin{array}{c}1\\1\ 1\\1\ 2\ 1\\1\ 3\ 3\ 1\\1\ 4\ 6\ 4\ 1\\1\ 5\ 10\ 10\ 5\ 1\end{array}\right

1 (2x)⁵ (3)⁰ + 5 (2x)⁴ (3)¹ + 10 (2x)³ (3)² + 10 (2x)² (3)³ + 5 (2x)¹ (3)⁴ + 1 (2x)⁰ (3)⁵

(2x)⁵ + 15 (2x)⁴ + 90 (2x)³ + 270 (2x)² + 405 (2x)¹ + 243

32x⁵ + 240x⁴ + 720x³ + 1080x² + 810x + 243

A rectangular garden has an area of 46 1/2 square feet. If the garden is 7 1/2 feet long, how many feet wide is it?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is 6 1/5 feet in width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for area is <em>wl</em> or <em>width </em>x <em>length</em>, we can utilize our reversive property to find our width by dividing the Area we are given by our length, giving us the missing width in return. Dividing 46.5 square feet by 7.5 feet gives us 6.2 feet, or 6 1/5 feet.

Hope this helps!
