Answer:

91

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

A 50 foot rope weighing a total of 32 lbs extended over a cliff that is 35 feet to the ground. A large 8 pound bucket with 19 ga
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A function that gives the work required in foot-lbs to lift the bucket up x feet from the ground is W=16(50-x)+(19-\frac{x}{5})(8.3)x and  the work to get the bucket to the top of the cliff is 3726 foot-lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done to lift the rope by distance x feet:

W_1=32(\frac{50-x}{2})

Work done to lift the bucket by distance x feet:

W_2=(19-\frac{x}{5})(8.3)x

On reaching top 7 gallons of water spilled out so , on going up by x feet \frac{7x}{35}=\frac{x}{5} gallons of water spilled out.

a function that gives the work required in foot-lbs to lift the bucket up x feet from the ground:

W=16(50-x)+(19-\frac{x}{5})(8.3)x

Now the work to get the bucket to the top of the cliff i.e. x =35

W=16(50-35)+(19-\frac{35}{5})(8.3)(35)

W=3726

Hence, a function that gives the work required in foot-lbs to lift the bucket up x feet from the ground is W=16(50-x)+(19-\frac{x}{5})(8.3)x and  the work to get the bucket to the top of the cliff is 3726 foot-lbs

1) 2x – y = 1
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1) (2, 3)

2) (2, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – y = 1

2x +2y = 10   Subtract to eliminate  the 2x:

2x - 2x - y - 2y = 1  - 10

-3y = -9

y = 3.

Plug this into the first equation:

2x - 3 = 1

2x = 4

x = 2.

2)

5x – y =15

x + y = -3     Adding to eliminate y:

5x + x - y + y = 15 + -3

6x = 12

x = 2

Plug this into the first equation:

5(2) - y = 15

-y = 15 - 10 = 5

y = -5.
