Sonsecutive numbers is
first number=x
second=x+1
third=x+2 so

x+x+1+x+2=135 or add like terms
3x+3=135
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=132
divide by 3
x=44
firts number=44
next number=45
next number=46

numbers are 44,45,46

Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 135, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 135

-Simplify on the left-

3x + 3 = 135

      -3     -3

3x = 132

÷3     ÷3       ← divide both sides by 3

X = 44

X + 1 = 45

X + 2 = 46

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 44, 45, and 46. The smallest number would be 44.

A factory makes an oil mixture by mixing oils of grades A and B as follows. For every 2.3 liters of grade A oil, 1.2 liters of g
lozanna [386]
<span>To produce 1000L of mixture the factory will need 657 liters of grade A and 343 liters of grade B. To determine this you have to figure out the percentage of each grade in the mixture. The ratio is 2.3 liters to 1.2 liters. Therefor in this scenario the unit equaling 100% is 3.5 liters. To find the percentage of grade A you divide the amount used by the total amount of the unit 100%: 2.3 divided by 3.5 = .657 (multiply the answer by 100 to get 65.7%). To find the percentage of grade B you divide the amount used by the total amount of the unit 100%: 1.2 divided by 3.5 = .343 (multiply the answer by 100 to get 34.3%) To test your answer make sure both percentages add up to 100%: 65.75 plus 34.35 = 100% To determine how much of grade A and grade B is needed for a set amount of liters you multiply the percentage by the liters needed. For this situation you multiply 65.7% (when multiplying percentages you need to multiply in decimal form). For grade A you multiply .657 (65.7%) by 1000 liters = 657 liters For grade B you multiply .343 (34.3%) by 1000 liters = 343 liters To test your answer you can use the same addition as you did to test the percentages: 657 liters plus 343 liters = 1000 liters</span>

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{12x}{2x-3x-10}-\frac{x}{x-5}=\frac{12x}{-x-10}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{12x}{-(x+10)}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{-12x}{x+10}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{-12x*(x-5)}{(x+10)*(x-5)}-\frac{x*(x+10)}{(x-5(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x*x-5*(-12x)}{(x+10)(x-5)}-\frac{x*x+x*10}{(x-5)(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2}+60x}{(x+10)(x-5)}-\frac{x^{2}+10x}{(x-5)(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2}+60x-(x^{2}+10x)}{(x+10)(x-5)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2} + 60x - x^{2}-10x}{x^{2}+5x-50}\\\\=\frac{-13x^{2}+50x}{x^{2}+5x-50}
