Consecutive integers area 1 apart
they are
x,x+1,x+2
sum is
x+x+1+x+2=87
3x+3=87
minus 3 both sides
3x=84
divide both sides by 3
x=28
x+1=29
x+2=30

the smallest number is 28

Answer:

Again every triangle is 180° and so is every straight line, so 180-105 is 75° so 75°+85° is 160 and 180-160 is 20° so your missing angle is 20°

The carnival committee has purchased 985 small prizes. The prizes are to be divided equally among the 29 game booths
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1 The first digit of the quotient is 3

2. 34 prizes per booth

3.  19 prizes left over

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide 985 by 29


29 goes into 98   3 times

29*3 = 87  with 13 left over

135 divided by 29

29*4 =116  135-116 =19

985÷29 = 34  with 19 left over
