Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.

It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.

So,x+x+1+x+2=46

3x+3=46.

Subtracting 3 both sides

3x=46-3

3x=43.

x= \frac{43}{3}.

Since \frac{43}{3}. is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.

Carmela saves 8% of her weekly earnings. She earned $25 last week. How
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 8% is the same as 8/100 or .08. I'll be using .08 to make things more simple. Now, if she earned $25 last week and she saves 8% of it then, the equation to find how much she saved would be 25 times .08. Simply plug that into a calculator to get the answer $2.

Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. 150 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height

So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.

We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2

b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2

b^2 = 625 - 225

b^2 = 400

sqrt (400) = 20

The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H

.5 * 15 * 20

7.5 * 20 = 150

How do I solve this using distributive property?<br><br>(x+3)(x+7)​
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  x^2 +10x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the distributive property tells you ...

  a(b +c) = ab +ac

Here, you can let

  • a = (x+3),
  • b = x,
  • c = 7

and you get ...

     a  ( b + c ) =  a·b   +   a·c

  (x +3)(x +7) = (x +3)·x +(x +3)·7

Now, you can use the distributive property on each of those products:

  = x·x +3·x +x·7 +3·7

  = x^2 +10x + 21

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

This is perhaps more commonly done by separating the terms of the first factor first:

  (x +3)(x +7) = x(x +7) +3(x +7)

Then the next round looks like ...

  x^2 +7x +3x +21

In order, left to right, these terms are the products of First terms, Outer terms, Inner terms, and Last terms. The acronym FOIL is often used to help students remember these pairs of products.

The acronym FOIL is only useful when multiplying a pair of binomials.

For anything else, the distributive property is relatively easy to remember and apply. Each term in each factor is multiplied by the remaining factors. The process is repeated until there are no parentheses left. Then like terms can be collected.

How do i do trigonometric ratios using tangent?
const2013 [10]

Answer: If we look at the general definition - tan x=OAwe see that there are three variables: the measure of the angle x, and the lengths of the two sides (Opposite and Adjacent).So if we have any two of them, we can find the third. In the figure above, click 'reset'. Imagine we didn't know the length of the side BC.We know that the tangent of A (60°) is the opposite side (26) divided by the adjacent side AB - the one we are trying to find. tan 60°=BC15From our calculator we find that tan 60° is 1.733...

Write and equation on the line that passed through (0,-1) and is perpendicular to the line y =1/9x+2
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

y=-9x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is perpendicular, the slope must be the opposite reciprocal (-9x) and now we plug the coordinates in, -1=0+b, b is -1
