Answer:
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first, twice the second and three times the third is -76. What is the number?
Let
x ----> the first consecutive integer
x+1 ---> the second consecutive integer
x+2 ---> the third consecutive integer
we have that

solve for x
apply distributive property

Combine like terms

subtract 8 both sides


Divide by 6 both sides

so


therefore
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12

Answer:
36 and 54
Step-by-step explanation:
54-36=18
54+36= 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.
The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,
x+2y = 1500
x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)
We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :
A = xy ....(2)
Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)
.....(3)
For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

Put the value of y in equation (1).
x = 1500-2(375)
= 750 m
Put the value of y in equation (3).

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.
y = 5/2x + 5 would be your equation
