The product of three integers x, x+2, and x-5 is 240. What are the integers?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  8, 10, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...

  f(x) = 0

where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:

  f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240

Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.

So, the three integers are ...

  • x = 8
  • x+2 = 10
  • x -5 = 3

How do you solve 2m-10=44+8m
Damm [24]

Answer:

m = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

2m-10=44+8m

Subtract 2m from each side

2m-2m-10=44+8m-2m

-10 = 44+6m

Subtract 44 from each side

-10-44 = 44-44+6m

-54 = 6m

Divide by 6

-54/6 = 6m/6

-9 = m

laila [671]

Answer:

(4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point R (-2,5), if the point R' is described by a translation of 6 units to the rights and 7 units down, then the coordinate of R' will be;

6 units to the rights is towards the positive x axis

7 units down is towards the negative y axis

R' = (-2+6, 5-7)

R' = (4, -2)

Hence the coordinate point of R' on the plane is (4, -2)
