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 are the next 4 terms to this sequence<br><br>2, 6, -4, 10, -14,
Kay [80]

Answer:

24, -38, 62, -100

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula is   a_n = a_(n-2)  -  a_(n-1)

so. we try this 4 times after the -14 term

a_3 = -4 =  2 - 6 =   a_1 - a_2

...

a_6  = a_4 - a_5 = 10 - (-14) = 24

a_7 = a_5 - a_6 = -14 - (24) = -38

a_8 = a_6 - a_7 = 24 - (-38)  = 62

a_9 = a_7 - a_8 =  -38 - 62 = -100

a_10 = a_8 - a_9 = 62 - (-100) = 162

On a rectangular hyperbola, if one point is (2, 3) and y varies inversely to x, find y when x is 6.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y is inversely proportion to x means that ,

y ∝ 1/x or ,

y\  \alpha\  \frac{1}{x}

When we remove the proportionality sign we get,

y=k(\frac{1}{x})\\y=\frac{k}{x} \\

now we know the point is (2 , 3) which means it corresponds to (x , y) which furthermore means y=3 when x=2,

so we insert these values and get the value of k.

y=\frac{k}{x} \\\\3=\frac{k}{2}\\\\6=k\\

now the equation becomes,

y=\frac{6}{x}

now we need to find y when x is 6 so just replace x with 6

y=\frac{6}{x}\\\\y=\frac{6}{6} \\\\y=1

so we get the value of y is 1
