It's 12 because if you divide 36 by 3 (consecutive) it equals 12

If you have three of them, they go in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on.

<span>If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1  and x + 2. </span>

<span>Though the question asks you to look for the highest, so I'll call that x, so the other two become "x - 1" and x - 2</span>

<span>So if we add them up to get 36, we get: </span>

<span>x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36 </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>

<span>3x - 3 = 36 </span>
<span>3x = 39 </span>
<span>x = 13 </span>

5(6-i)+(6-i)(3-i). show work.
Bumek [7]

47 -14i

You can work this out in the straight-forward way, or you can recognize that (6-i) is a common factor. In the latter case, you have ...

... = (6-i)(5 + 3-i)

... = (6 -i)(8 -i)

This product of binomials is found in the usual way. Each term of one factor is multiplied by each term of the other factor and the results summed. Of course, i = √-1, so i² = -1.

... = 6·8 -6i -8i +i²

... = 48 -14i -1

... =

_____

A suitable graphing calculator will work these complex number problems easily.

In Jack's class, 7 out of 25 students have hazel eyes. What percent of the class has hazel eyes?
denis23 [38]
You're going to set up a proportion. % over 100 = is over of. You're looking for the percent so that's your x. X over 100=7 over 25. Cross multiply to get 25x=700. Divide both sides by 25 and your answer is 28%

What does the line of -4 x + 3y = 6 look like
Llana [10]

Answer:

The line slopes upwards from left to right wit a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We first rearrange the equation to the order y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c the y intercept.

3y=4x+6

y=(4/3)x+2

The gradient is therefore 4/3 and the y intercept is 2.

At the c intercept, y=0

0=(4/3)x +2

(4/3)x=-2

x=-2×3/4

=3/2

The line slopes upwards from left to right with a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2

Factorise completely 3m^2-48​
Helen [10]

Answer:

3 (m^2 - 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring means taking out a common multiple of all the terms in the expression

in this case, if you multiply 3 and m^2, 3 and -16, you would get 3m^2-48​

so you take the three and put it outside of the parenthesis that contains the factored terms

this leaves you with 3 (m^2 - 16)
