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!

Enzo is driving to his niece's t-ball game. his sister gave him directions. what will
just olya [345]

The direction given by Enzo's sister is an illustration of distance

Enzo's distance from the east of 1st avenue to the field is 6 miles

<h3>How to describe the directions?</h3>

From the question, we have the following directions:

  • Start at east of 1st avenue
  • Drive 3 miles
  • Make a 90 degrees right turn
  • Drive 1 mile
  • Turn at 90 degrees intersection
  • Drive 2 miles

The above directions imply that the total distance from the east of 1st avenue to the field is:

Distance = 3 miles + 1 mile + 2 miles

Evaluate the sum

Distance = 6 miles

Hence, Enzo's distance from the east of 1st avenue to the field is 6 miles

A survey of 85 families showed that 36 owned at least one DVD player. Find the 99% confidence interval estimate of the true prop
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.424 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.286

0.424 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.562

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.286;0.562)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

X= 36 represent the families owned at least one DVD player

n= 85 represent the total number of families

\hat p=\frac{36}{85}= 0.424 represent the estimated proportion of families owned at least one DVD player

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.424 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.286

0.424 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.424(1-0.424)}{85}}=0.562

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.286;0.562)

Consider the equation below.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The equation has no solutions .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

<u>The linear equation is </u>

\dfrac{3}{4}(24 -16 x) = \dfrac{-2}{3}(18 x -27)

Or, \dfrac{3}{4} ×24 - \dfrac{3}{4} × 16 x =  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 18 x -  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 27

Or,  \dfrac{3}{4} ×24 - \dfrac{3}{4} × 16 x =  \dfrac{-2}{3} × 18 x + \dfrac{2}{3} × 27

Or, \frac{3\times 24}{4} -  \frac{3\times 16 x}{4} =  \frac{-2\times 18 x}{3} + \frac{2\times 27 x}{3}

Or, 3 × 6 - 3 × 4 x = - 2 × 6 x + 2 × 9

Or, 18 - 12 x = - 12 x + 18

Or, 18 - 18 = - 12 x + 12 x

or, 0 = 0

∵ The linear equation has no variables , so the equation has no solution

Hence,The equation has no solutions . Answer

You make and sell triangular flags. Each flag has a base of 3.5 feet and a height of 2.5 feet. Fabric for the flags costs $0.40
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Square feet refer to the area of the triangle. Using the area formula (1/2bh), the area is calculated to be 4.375 square feet. If each square foot costs $.40 to make, then the correct process is to multiply 4.375 by .40, making the correct answer $1.75.
