Find 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and twice the second is 16 more than twice the third

Mathematics

lions [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer: 18, 19, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers = x, y and z

1st number is X

2nd number is Y which is X +1

3rd number is Z which is X +2

Write equation

X + 2Y = 16 + 2Z

Replace Y with X + 1 and Z with X + 2

So,

X + 2(X + 1) = 16 + 2(X + 2)

Distribute

X + 2X + 2 = 16 + 2X + 4

Combine like terms

3X + 2 = 2X + 20

Solve for X

3X + 2 - 2 - 2X = 20 + 2X - 2X - 2

X = 18 so, Y is 19 and Z is 20

ohaa [14]
0.05% of 40 is 0.02 

Divide your decimal by 100:
0.05 \div 100 = 0.0005

Multiply your decimal with 40:
0.0005 \times 40 = 0.02

One serving of granola provides 4% of the protein you need daily. You must get the remaining 48 grams from other sources. How ma
Anna35 [415]
You will need 46.08 grams.

48 • 0.04 (4%) = 1.92
multiply 48 by 0.04 to find what 4% of 48g is
48 - 1.92 = 46.08
then subtract the 4% to get the rest amount

Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.
Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Adam writes 18y to simplify an expression with three like terms. What could the expression be?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 6y + 7y = 18y......any numbers that add(or subtract) to equal 18, stick them before the y....

or it could be : 10y + 10y - 2y = 18y or 5y + 10y + 3y or 30y - 20y + 8y....I could go on forever...lol
