Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is in the middle you can just divide by 3 since one will be greater and one will be less so 51/3=17

Assume the second number to be x, then the first numbers is X-2, third number is x + 2
Thus we have a sequence of x-2,x,x+2,the sum of these number is 51:
X-2+x+x+2=51
X=17
So, 15, 17, 19

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side xx in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

The length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

<h3>How to find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Triangle type = Equilateral triangle

Height (h) = 12

Missing side length = x

The missing side length, x is calculated using the following sine ratio

sin(60) = Height/Missing side length

This gives

sin(60) = 12/x

Make x the subject of the formula

So, we have

x = 12/sin(60)

Evaluate the quotient

So, we have

x = 12/(√3/2)

This gives

x = 24/√3

Rationalize

x = 24/√3 * √3/√3

Evaluate

x = 8√3

Hence, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

A coyote had 10 pups in her third litter. (10)
It was twice as many as in her second litter,( 2( second litter) = third litter

her second litter had 3 more pups than her first.( first litter +3)=2nd litter

Find the number of pups in her litter
