Answer:

  16, 17, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle of three consecutive integers is their average value. The average of three integers is their sum (51) divided by the number of them (3).

  51/3 = 17 . . . . the middle of the three integers.

The integers are 16, 17, 18.

_____

Maybe you're thinking an equation is necessary. The reasoning about numbers is sufficient to solve the problem, so no equation is necessary.

This sort of problem is often solved by letting the variable represent the smallest integer. If the variable is x, then the three integers are ...

  x, x+1, x+2

and their sum is ...

  (x) +(x+1) +(x+2) = 51

This gives you a 2-step equation:

  3x +3 = 51

  x+1 = 17 . . . . . divide by 3, because we can

  x = 16 . . . . . . . subtract 1; integers are 16, 17, 18

__

Another way to solve this problem is the way we did it in words above. Let the variable represent the middle integer. Then the three integers are ...

  x-1, x, x+1

and their sum is ...

  (x-1) +(x) +(x+1) = 51

This gives you a 1-step equation:

  3x = 51

  x = 17 . . . . . . . . divide by 3; integers are 16, 17, 18

Safara wants to rent a bicycle the graph shows the cost for renting a bicycle for different lengths of time. What is the slope o
enot [183]

The slope of the line will be equal to 30.

Slope of a line may be defined as the steepness of a curve. Slope of line can be positive, negative or zero. Slope of a line is used to determine the equation of the line which is given as y = mx + b where m is the slope, b is y intercept and x and y are independent and dependent variables respectively. The slope of a line on points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula, m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁.

According to the question the value of points is (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 60).

Now, the slope can be calculated as

m = (60 - 0)/(2 - 0)

=> m = 60/2

=> m = 30 which is the required slope.
