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

a(x+b)=4x+10 in the equation above a and b are constants. if the equation has infinitely many solutions for X, what is the value

xeze [42]

Answer:

$b= \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(x+b)=4x+10\\ax+b= 4x+10\\$

Now we know that system has infinite solution for x

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}$

in above equation.

$a_1=a, a_2=4, b_1=ab,b_2=10\\$

∴ $\frac{a}{4}=\frac{ab}{10}\\\therefore b=\frac{10\times a}{4\times a}=\frac{5}{2}$

Lilit [14]

Answer:1

Step-by-step explanation: substitute all the corresponding terms so you get, 16=4(3+b2)

Then you multiply and get 16=12+4b2 then subtract 12 from both sides to get 4=4b2 and then divided both sides by 4 and you get 1=b2

Valentin [98]

Answer:

w(x)=2.3x+31

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the function would indicate that the weight of the dolphin after x days would be equal to the 31 pounds the baby weighed when it was born plus 2.3 lbs that is the average rate it is growing for the number of days:

w(x)= 2.3x+31, where:

w(x)= weight of the dolphin

x=number of days
