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>

On average, a pair of bike tires can last 18 months if used every day. The length of time bike tires can last is exponentially d
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a pair of bike tires can last 18 months if used every day.

We calculate how much eighty percent of the tire will last in months.

We have the following proportion:

18:100\%=x:80\%\\\\100x=18\cdot 80\\\\100x=1440\\\\x=\frac{1440}{100}\\\\x=14.4

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.

Which of the following is in the solution set of y&lt; 8 x− 3? Select one: (7, 46) (7, 60) (10, 89) (9, 82)
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

  (7, 46)

Step-by-step explanation:

The offered answer choices have x-values of 7, 9, 10. The corresponding upper limit of y-value is ...

  x=7 : y < 8·7 -3 = 53 . . . . . 46 is in the solution set, 60 is not

  x=9 : y < 8·9 -3 = 69 . . . . 82 is not in the solution set

  x=10 : y < 8·10 -3 = 77 . . . . 89 is not in the solution set

Of the choices offered, only (7, 46) is in the solution set.
