Answer:

They are 8, 10 and 12 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 24

x = 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...

x , x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 30 - 6

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

check...

8 + 10 + 12 = 30

18 + 12 = 30

30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out

the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm

The sum of three consecutive integers is 21 larger than twice the smallest integer. find the integers.
Darya [45]
Let the integers be x-1, x, x+1.

Given,

x -1 + x + x + 1 = 21 + 2(x - 1)

3x = 21 + 2x - 2

x = 19

Hence, the three integers are 18, 19 and 20.

anygoal [31]

Answer: C. 00:00 $927; Vince wrote the wrong number to represent the interest rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed (p) = 900

Simple interest (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Time (t) = 2 years

Amount he'll pay back (A) :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 900(1 + 0.015(2))

A = 900(1 + 0.03)

A = 900(1.03)

A = $927
