Answer:

The largest consecutive integer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n, n +1, n+2, and n+3 are the  four consecutive integers

The sum of four consecutive integers is 18

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = 18

4n + 6 = 18

4n = 12

n = 3

The sum of four consecutive integers: 3, 4 , 5 , 6

Answer:

The largest consecutive integer is 6

The sum of 3 consecutive integers can be represented as

X → <em>first integer</em>

X + 1 → <em>second integer</em>

X + 2 → <em>third integer</em>

X + 3 → <em>fourth integer</em>

<em />

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 18, our equation will read...

X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 = 18

If we simplify on the left, our equation will read

<h2>4x + 6 = 18</h2><h2>       -6    -6    ← subtract 6 on both sides</h2><h2 /><h2>       4x = 12</h2><h2>        X = 3</h2>

X + 3 = largest integer

3 = 3 = 6

Therefore, the largest integer is 6.

The base of a triangle is 3 more than 2 times of height. Determine the dimensions that give total area of 10 square feet.
Alona [7]

Answer:

height = 2.5 ft , base = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

height = h then base = 2h + 3 and A = 10 , then

\frac{1}{2} h(h + 3) = 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

h(h + 3) = 20 , that is

h² + 3h = 20 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

h² + 3h - 20 = 0 ← in standard form

(h + 4)(2h - 5) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for h

h + 4 = 0 ⇒ h = - 4

2h - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2h = 5 ⇒ h = 2.5

but h > 0 , then h = 2.5

and 2h + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

that is height = 2.5 ft and base = 8 ft
