-----------------------------------------------
Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.

-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78

-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25

-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25
-----------------------------------------------

Lets call them
a, b, c
we know that
a+b+c=78
and we know they are consecutive which makes this problem a lot more easier
the number just after another number is that number plus one. example:
the number just after 3 is
3+1...which is 4
lets write our consecutive numbers in a way that we can use this principle:
a, a+1, a+2

a+a+1+a+2=78
3a+3=78
3a=75
a=25
the smallest number is 25

Factor completely, 0.2x + 0.8 a. x b. 0.8(x + 1) c. 0.2(x + 1) d. 0.2(x + 4)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

d. 0.2 ( x + 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2x + 0.8

Both 0.2x and 0.8 have a common factor of 0.2, hence pull 0.2 out.

0.2x + 0.8

0.2 ( x + 4 )

Why do you think users of mobile payments are at a higher risk for financial mismanagement?
Bad White [126]

Mobile payments are payment transactions done with the help of a mobile phone. Think Venmo, Square Cash and Gogle Wallet, used to transfer money and even to shop at participating retailers – all with the tap of screen. According to a recent global study on mobile payment transactions, the mobile payments market was worth $550 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow more than 39% by 2020. That is explosive growth by any calculation.

But within all the buzz and investment that is flowing into this industry lies a cautionary tale, one that AnnaMaria Lusardi, director of the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC) at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., explains like this: “We can make payments with the touch of a button, but the impact of this rapid innovation is not being examined.”

Factor the GCF: 9x4y − 6x3y2 3x2y3. 3x2y(3x2 − 2xy y2) 3xy(3x2 − 2xy y2) 3xy2(3x2 − 2xy y2) 3x2y(3x2 2xy y2).
Papessa [141]

The factored form of the equation 9x⁴y - 6x³y² + 3x²y³ is 3x²y(3x²-2xy+y²).

<h3>What is factored form?</h3>

The product of a constant and two linear expressions in factored form. The roots of the function are the parameters and the x-intercepts of the graph. Often Factoring is referred to as the process of converting a quadratic function to factored form.

We need to write the given expression 9x^4y-6x^3y^2 + 3x^2y^3 in the factored form, therefore, we will take the common terms out of the given expression,

1. Taking 3 as the common term, we will get,

9x^4y-6x^3y^2 + 3x^2y^3\\\\= 3 (3x^4y-2x^3y^2 + x^2y^3)

2. Taking x² as the common term

= 3 (3x^4y-2x^3y^2 + x^2y^3)\\\\= 3x^2(3x^2y-2xy^2+y^3)\\\\

3. Taking y as the common term,

= 3x^2(3x^2y-2xy^2+y^3)\\\\= 3x^2y(3x^2-2xy+y^2)\\\\

Hence, the factored form of the equation 9x⁴y - 6x³y² + 3x²y³ is 3x²y(3x²-2xy+y²).
