Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smallest one:

● x is the first number

● x+1 is the second number

● x+2 is the third number

The sum of these numbers is 276

● x+(x+1)+(x+2) =276

● x+x+1+x+2 = 276

● 3x + 3 = 276

Substract 3 from both sides:

● 3x+3-3 = 276-3

● 3x = 273

Divide both sides by 3

● (3x)/3 = 273/3

● x = 91

So the smallest one is 91

The ABC Toy Company is creating two similar pieces for board game, as shown below. Find the value of y that makes the two pieces

Ira Lisetskai [31]

A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor

Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL

The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8

Side JK is twice longer than GH

All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI

Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12

Answer: y = 12

Find the general indefinite integral. (use c for the constant of integration.) (7θ − 6 csc(θ) cot(θ)) dθ

KiRa [710]

$\int \! 70 - 6 \csc(\theta) \cot(\theta) \ \mathrm{d}\theta = \int \! 70 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} \cdot \frac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} \ \mathrm{d}\theta = \int \! 70 \ \mathrm{d}\theta - \int \! \frac{6 \cos(\theta)}{\sin^2(\theta)} \ \mathrm{d}\theta = 70 \theta + \frac{6}{\sin(\theta)} + C, \ C \in \mathbb{R}.$
