You have some unknown integer n, and you know that adding this and the next two integers, n+1 and n+2, gives a total of 57.

This means

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=57

The task is to find all three unknown integers. Notice that if you know the value of n, then you pretty much know the value of the other three integers.

To find n, solve the equation above:

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=3n+3=57\implies 3n=54\implies n=\dfrac{54}3=18

So if 18 is the first integer, then others must be 19 and 20.

You have to make the equation n+(n+1)+(n+2)=57.
So, 
n+(n+1)+(n+2)=57
3n+3=57
     -3  -3
3n=54
Divide 3 on both sides
n= 18

Answer:
n= 18
n+1= 19
n+2=20

What is the distance between (-4, 8) and (12, 8) on the coordinate plane? A 16 units B 8 units C 0 units D 4 units
Papessa [141]

Answer:

16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance between (-4, 8) and (12, 8) on the coordinate plane.

We know that the distance between two points on the coordinate plane is given by :

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Put x₁ = -4, x₂ = 12, y₁ = 8 and y₂ = 8

So,

D=\sqrt{(12-(-4))^2+(8-8)^2}\\\\=16\ units

So, the distance between the two points is equal to 16 units.

3. No, because the first inequality says x is lesser than 5 but the second one          says x is greater. X can't be both greater and lesser at the same time.
4. X>12       
5. X\leq -4
6. y<-8
7. 2.3 + w>18
8. -4t\leq -2/5
9. b - 4.2 < -7.5
10. 2x \leq  -24
11. 4 + 8 \leq 12 - Correct
12. 5(-5) > -15 = -25 > -15 = Incorrect

Write an equation based on the graph.

Y=(-2/3x)+2

You don’t have to include the parentheses. I just placed them there so you know that it’s -2 over 3x plus 2
