Mathematics

Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, x +1, x + 2, x + 3 be four consecutive integers.

\therefore \: x + x +1 +  x + 2 +  x + 3 = 74 \\  \therefore \: 4x + 6 = 74 \\  \therefore \: 4x = 74 - 6 \\  \therefore \: 4x = 68 \\  \therefore \: x =  \frac{68}{4}  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 17}}

Hence, first integer is 17.

Answer:

<h2>x = 0, y = 5, z = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x,\ y,\ z-\text{three numbers}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x+2z)-y=1&(1)\\z+2x=3&(2)\\x+3y+z=18&(3)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\z+2x=3\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\z=3-2x\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to (1) and (3)}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2(3-2x)-y=1&\text{use the distributive property}\\x+3y+(3-2x)=18\end{array}\right

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+(2)(3)+(2)(-2x)-y=1\\x+3y+3-2x=18&\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+6-4x-y=1&\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\(x-2x)+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x-4x)-y=-5\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x-y=-5&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-3y=-15\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add all sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-10x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=0}\\\\\text{Put it to the second equation:}\\-0+3y=15\\3y=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\boxed{y=5}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ (*):\\\\z=3-2(0)\\\boxed{z=3}

What is 10^-10 in decimal form?
S_A_V [24]
10^-10 in decimal form is 0.000000001. Because the exponent is negative, you move the decimal point ( decimal point is at the end of 0 of the base number 10) 10 place to the right of 10 and u get the answer above. I discarded the 0 later in the answer because now that you've moved the decimal, that 0 have no value. But when forming it in decimal you have to use that 0 or you will get a wrong answer, instead of eight 0's, you will end up with nine 0's.
