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.

23) m 2 = 7x + 6<br>70°

lakkis [162]

Answer:

∠2 = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle has 2 congruent sides then the triangle is isosceles.

Thus the 2 base angle are congruent, both equal to ∠2

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180

7x + 6 + 7x + 6 + 70 = 180, that is

14x + 82 = 180 ( subtract 82 from both sides )

14x = 98 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 7

Hence

∠2 = 7x + 6 = (7 × 7) + 6 = 49 + 6 = 55°

Based on the information given say whether or not △ABC∼△FED. Explain your reasoning.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Yes, △ABC ∼ △FED by AA postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two triangles ABC and FED.

m∠A = m∠B

m∠C = m∠A + 30°

m∠E = m∠F = $x$

m∠D = $2x-20$ °.

Now, let m∠A = m∠B = $y$

So, m∠C = m∠A + 30° = $y+30$

Now, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180

$y+y+y+30=180\\3y=180-30\\3y=150\\y=\frac{150}{3}=50$

Therefore, m∠A = 50°, m∠B = 50° and m∠C = m∠A + 30° = 50 + 30 = 80°.

Now, consider triangle FED,

m∠D+ m∠E + m∠F = 180

$2x-20+x+x=180\\4x=180+20\\4x=200\\x=\frac{200}{4}=50$

Therefore, m∠F = 50°

m∠E = 50° and

m∠D = $2x-20=2(50)-20=100-20=80\°$

So, both the triangles have congruent corresponding angle measures.

m∠A = m∠F = 50°

m∠B = m∠E = 50°

m∠C = m∠D = 80°

Therefore, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.

The value of g(x) = 2[f(x)]² - 1 is g(x) = 8x² + 8x + 1

<h3>How to find a function?</h3>

f(x) = 2x+1

Find

g(x) = 2[f(x)]² - 1

Hence,

g(x) = 2[2x + 1]² - 1

g(x) = 2[4x² + 4x + 1] - 1

g(x) = 8x² + 8x + 2 - 1

g(x) = 8x² + 8x + 1
