Answer:
-58, -57, -56
Step-by-step explanation:
if the first integer is x,
the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)
and the third must be x + 2
Therefore:
3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:
3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342
Combine like terms in parentheses
3 * (2x + 2) = -342
Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:
6x + 6 = -342
Subtract 6 on both sides
6x = -348
Divide by 6 on both sides
x = -58
x + 1 = -57
x + 2 = -56
-58, -57, -56
Check:
3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342
23 stones will be needed (you have to round up, since you can't have a fraction of a stone)
Answer:
2.275%
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by calculating the z-score
Mathematically;
z-score = (x-mean)SD
here, x = 70.5
mean = 65.5
SD = 2.5
Substituting these values;
z = (70.5-65.5)/2.5
= 5/2.5 = 2
So we want to calculate the probability that;
P( z> 2)
We check the standard normal distribution table for this
That will be
0.02275
In percentage, this is 2.275 %
Well if finding X you get 4,-7 when you simplify the whole equation you get that as well.
Answer:
both these equations are the examples of associative property.
#1 is the example of associative property with respect to multiplication.
#2 is the example of associative property with respect to addition.
