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

Mathematics

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

In the diagram below, RA is parallel to ET, and RT is 21 units long. Find the length of ST
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As RA is parallel to ET, the angle in R is equal to the angle in T, and the angle in A is equal to the angle in E, so the triangle RAS is similar to the triangle SET.

If RT is 21 units, we have that RS + ST = 21 -> RS = 21 - ST

Using a rule of three with the sides of the triangle (as they are proportional), we have:

RS / ST = AR / ET

(21 - ST) / ST = 6 / 8

4 * (21 - ST) = 3*ST

84 - 4*ST = 3*ST

7*ST = 84

ST = 12 units
