Find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and the third is -342

Answer:

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two consecutive integers is 1.

If you let the smallest of the three consecutive integers equal x, then the next greater one is x + 1, and the greatest of the three is x + 2.

Integers: x, x + 1, x + 2

The sum of the first and third is: x + x + 2

3 times the sum of the first and third is: 3(x + x + 2)

That product equals -342.

3(x + x + 2) = -342

3(2x + 2) = -342

Divide both sides by 3.

2x + 2 = -114

Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x = -116

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

Which answers are elements of the solution set of the inequality? Check all that apply. X-54 > - 76

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume your problem statement actually says

x - 54 > -76

x > -22

then the answers

C, D

are part of the solution set.

the others are not.

If the measure of angle 2 is 92 degrees and the measure of angle 4 is (one-half x) degrees, what is the value of x?

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: x = 184°

Step-by-step explanation: As we can see in the figure below, angles 2 and 4 are <u>Vertical</u> <u>Angles</u>, i.e., they are angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Vertical angles are always congruent.

Then,

m∠2 = m∠4

$92=x.(\frac{1}{2})$

$92=\frac{x}{2}$

Value of x is

$x=92(2)$

x = 184

The value of x is 184°.

How to find the equation of this line?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{6}{7}$ x - $\frac{10}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{-4-2}{3+4}$ = - $\frac{6}{7}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{6}{7}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 4, 2 ), then

2 = $\frac{24}{7}$ + c ⇒ c = 2 - $\frac{24}{7}$ = - $\frac{10}{7}$

y = - $\frac{6}{7}$ x - $\frac{10}{7}$ ← equation of line
