Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers....

1st integer = x

2nd integer = x + 1

3rd integer = x + 2

the product of 1st and 3rd is 5 greater then 5 times the 2nd...

x(x+2) = 5(x + 1) + 5

x^2 + 2x = 5x + 5 + 5

x^2 + 2x = 5x + 10

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0

x = 5 x = -2

so it will be : 5,6,and 7 or -2,-1, and 0

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A:

Blueprint 10 inches ⇒ Actual 35 feet

Blueprint 20 inches ⇒ Actual 70 feet

Part B:

The cost of the cover is $857.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

∵ The drawing scale is 2 inches for 7 feet

∵ The length = 20 inches and the width = 10 inches

∴ The actual length = (20 × 7) ÷ 2 = 70 feet

∴ The actual width = (10 × 7) ÷ 2 = 35 feet

Part B:

∵ The cost per square foot = $0.35

∵ The area of the pool = 70 × 35 = 2450 feet ²

∴ The cost of the cover = 2450 × 0.35 = $857.5
