Let the three consecutive equals:
x, x+1, x+2

sum:
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 36
3x + 3 = 36
x+1 = 36/3
x+1 = 12
x=12-1
x=11

Answer:

A = 3 ft, B = 7 ft, C = 4 ft, D = 5 ft, Surface Area = 96 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the sides

A → 3 ft

B → 7 ft

C → 4 ft

D → 5 ft

Step 2: Determine the surface area

Area of the sides

$A= 4\ ft * 7\ ft = 28\ ft^2$

$A= 5\ ft * 7\ ft = 35\ ft^2$

$A= 3\ ft * 7\ ft = 21\ ft^2$

Area of the top and bottom triangles

$A= \frac{h\ *\ b}{2} = \frac{3\ ft\ *\ 4\ ft}{2} = \frac{12\ ft^2}{2} = 6\ ft^2 = 2(6\ ft^2) = 12\ ft^2$

Total Area

$28\ ft^2 + 35\ ft^2 + 21\ ft^2 + 12\ ft^2$

$96\ ft^2$

Answer: A = 3 ft, B = 7 ft, C = 4 ft, D = 5 ft, Surface Area = 96 ft^2

What is the solution to -55+q=7 A. a=-62 B. q=62 C. q=42 D. q=-42

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

C, as q = 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have an equation, your goal is to get the letter you are solving for alone. To do this, you employ a simple rule: what you do to one side of the equals sign, you must do the other.

To isolate q in -55 + q = 7, you must add 55 to the left side. q is now alone. However, because we added 55 to the left side, we must also do it to the right! 7 + 55 = 62, so the new right side is 62. Hence, we get to this:

q = 62

The answer is now in plain sight!
