Answer: the smallest of the three numbers is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest number.

Since the three numbers are consecutive, it means that the next number would be x + 1

Also, the last and also the largest number would be x + 2

If the sum of the three consecutive numbers is 114, it means that

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 114

3x + 3 = 114

Subtracting 3 from the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

3x + 3 - 3 = 114 - 3

3x = 111

Dividing the Left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3x/3 = 111/3

x = 37

Yadier killed 3 4/5 miles from the Nature Center to the waterfall. Then he hiked another 2 2/3 miles to Overlook Point. How far

EastWind [94]

Answer: estimate 7

exact: 6 7/15

Step-by-step explanation: for the estimate round 3 4/5 to 4 and 2 2/3 to 3 and 4 + 3 = 7

for the exact number convert 3 4/5 to 3 12/15

and convert 2 2/3 to 2 10 /15

then add 3 + 2 = 5

and 12/15 + 10/15 = 22/15

convert 22/15 to a mixed number which is 1 7/15

then 5 + 1 7/15

answer 6 7/15

The two men measure the angle of elevation to the highest point on the rock to be 22.6°. They

IgorC [24]

Answer:

15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture

The height = h
Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
Closer distance = d

Use tangent to solve

tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
tan 38.3° = h/d ⇒ h = d tan 38.3° ⇒ h = 0.79d

Compare the equations above and find the value of d:

0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
0.37 d = 7.14
d = 7.14/0.37
d = 19.3 m

Now find the value of h:

h = 0.79d
h = 0.79*19.3
h = 15

Wave Rock is 15 m tall

Y=x+5 and y=3x-3 I need to get this in a ordered pair

koban [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(x, y) = (4, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the ordered pair you want is the one that satisfies both equations.

We can find that by equating the expressions for y:

x +5 = 3x -3

8 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 3-x to both sides

4 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

y = 4+5 = 9

The ordered pair is (x, y) = (4, 9).
