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.

Question
puteri [66]

Answer:

The salt concentration of the mixed solution = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First assuming that the concentration of salt given is on a vol% basis.

First solution has 0.7 gallon of 5% salt

Amount of salt in this solution = 5% × 0.7 = 0.035 gallon

Second solution has 0.3 gallon of 22% salt

Amount of salt in this solution = 22% × 0.3 = 0.066 gallon

Total amount of salt in the resulting solution = 0.035 + 0.066 = 0.101 gallon

Total volume of the resulting solution = 0.7 + 0.3 = 1.00 gallon

Concentration of the mixture of salt = (0.101/1) = 0.101 = 10.1% = 10% to the nearest percent

Hope this Helps!!!

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let after t hours they meet after the second runner starts.

15 minutes=1/4 hour.

6(t+1/4)=8t

6t+6/4=8t

8t-6t=6/4

2t=3/2

t=3/2* 1/2=3/4 hours=45 minutes
