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.

If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1 and x + 2. 

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

So if we add them up to get 36, we get: 

x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36 

Solving for x: 

3x - 3 = 36 
3x = 39 
x = 13

The volume of a solid right pyramid with a square base is v units3 and the length of the base edge is y units. Write the express

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

h = V/y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a right pyramid is given by the expression = Area of base × height.

Area of base = Area of square at the base

= y × y = y^2.

Now, we substitute these values:

V = y^2 × height

height = V/y^2

Find an equation of the line parallel to y = -2x + 1 and that passes through the point (-3,-4)

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

y = - 2x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 1 Slope , m = -2 parallel slope is the same

point slope form of new line

(y - -4)= -2 ( x - -3)

y = -2x -10

The equation for line j can be written as y=2x + 8. Another like k is perpendicular to line j and passes through the point (6,-6

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, - 6) into the partial equation

- 6 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 6 + 3 = - 3

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3 ← equation of line k
