The sun of three conservative integers is -204. what is the largest integer?

Mathematics

Digiron [165]4 years ago
7 0

let us take the smallest integer as x

the second smallest as x+1

and the largest as x+2

since the sum is -204 we should add all of it to get the answer

therefore x+x+1+x+2=-204

3x+3=-204

3x=-204-3

3x=-207

x=-207/3

x=-69

the largest number is x+2

therefore the largest number is -67

to check whether it is right just add them and check whether we get - 204

therefore -69+-68+-67=

-204

therefore the answer is -67

The simple interest formula is A = P(1 + rt) in which A is the total of money after interest, P is your principal (starting) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time. 
For 1), plug in your variables to get  A = 1500(1 + (7/100*1.5)). Simplify, and you'll get A = 1500*1.105, and finally your answer, $1,657.50.

<span>For 2), add your interest and principal amount, then plug in your variables to get 676 = 520(1 + 5r). Distribute to get 676 = 520 + 2600r. Subtract 520 from 676 to get 156 = 2600r, then divide both sides by 2600 to get a rate of 0.06, or 6%. 

For 3), add your interest and principal amount, then plug in your variables to get 1599 = 1300(1 + 5.75t). Distribute to get 1599 = 1300 + 7475t. Subtract 1300 from both sides to get 299 = 7475t, and then divide both sides by 7475 to get .04 = t, or a time period of four years. 

The other two problems can be solved using the formula and steps described above. If you still need help with them, leave a comment and I will solve those as well. </span>

The number of seats in each row of an auditorium increases by 2 from one row to the next. if there are 48 seats in the first row
Sveta_85 [38]

Let's see if we can find a pattern:

Row number 1 has 48 = 48 + 2\cdot 0 seats

Row number 2 has 50 = 48 + 2\cdot 1 seats

Row number 3 has 52 = 48 + 2\cdot 2 seats

Row number 4 has 54 = 48 + 2\cdot 3 seats

Can you see the pattern? After n rows, we have added 2(n-1) seats.

So, the 60th row will have

48 + 2\cdot 59 = 48 + 118 = 166
