Answer:

18, 19, 20, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like any of these problems, we should start by forming an equation for us to get a reference and plug in. We'll be using x as our variables.

As we have four consecutive integers (and not multiples) we can assume that the integers will be x, x+1, x+2, and x+3.

The sum of the two largest integers we have equals: n+2 + n+3 = 2n+5

and three times the sum of the two smallest = 3(n + n+1) = 6n+3

and the sum of t he two largest subtracted from three times the sum of the two smallest = (6n+3) - (2n+5) = 4n-2

4n-2=70

4n=68

n = 18.

n = 18, n+1 = 19, n+2 = 20, n+3 = 21

How Do Solve 3/4=3/8x-3/2 And Show All Your Work
lubasha [3.4K]
It's too hard for me to show all the work, but you can find a common denominator in 8.

Change 3/4 to 6/8 and -3/2 to -12/8.

Now that all the fractions have the same denominator, you can multiply the whole problem by 8 and cancel out all denominators.

You are left with 6=3x-12

Add 12 to 6 and cancel out on the right side.

18=3x

Divide by 18 by 3

x=6

Need help please and if there is a remainder you need to round to the nearest tenth
jarptica [38.1K]

Solving:

when you divide, you get this number: 1.56775

You have been asked to round to the tenth.

The tenth is one place right of the decimal. (currently a 5)

Look at the next place to the right. Since it is 6, we round up the tenth place by one. So our 5 in the tenth place becomes 6 (because the next digit was greater than 4)

1.6 is the final result
