Answer:

The largest number is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be = x , x+1 , x+2

As given, their sum is 84, we can write as:

$x+x+1+x+2=84$

=> $3x+3=84$

=> $3x=84-3$

=> $3x=81$

x = 27

So, x+1= $27+1=28$

And x+2 = $27+2=29$

Hence, the largest number is 29.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply the two fractions. So 5/7*9/10, you just multiply across. This would give you 45/70. Then, after simplifying, this fraction is 9/14. So, Sean ran 9/14 of a mile on Sunday. Hope this helps, Sorry if im wrong!!

The sum of the measures of two acute angles is always greater than 90 degrees

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

One acute angle will always measure between 0° and 90° . Two acute angles can sum to be either greater than, less than, or equal to a right angle. Two acute angles can be complementary angles (adding to 90° ). Two acute angles alone cannot sum to make a straight angle (180° )

Use the slope of the given line to construct a parallel line

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{4}{3}$ x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Calculate the slope m of the given line using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{-2-2}{3-0}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{4}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute P(- 3, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 4 = - 7

y = - $\frac{4}{3}$ x - 7 ← equation of parallel line

What is the difference of the polynomials [m²n²-7]-(mn+4)

AleksAgata [21]

You can do addition and substraction operations with polynomials similarly as with simple real numbers.

First of all you have to open brackets and then you can add numbers (-7-4=-11). Then the result is following:
$(m^2n^2-7)-(mn+4) =m^2n^2-7-mn-4=m^2n^2-mn-11$
