Answer:

21, 22, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct equations representing each piece of information.

Three consecutive integers are three numbers in a row, for example, 1, 2 and 3.

Let's let

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X = (Y + Z) - 24

We also know that

Y = X + 1

and Z = X + 2

We can now sub this information into the first equation. We do this so that we can have only one variable in the equation.

X = (X+1) + (X+2) - 24

now solve for x,

X = 2X + 3 - 24

X = 2X - 21

-X = - 21

X = 21

So, the integers are 21, 22, 23

Answer:

3.32ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The wire and the poles attached to the ground form a right triangle with the length of the wire being the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

Hypotenuse²=Adjacent²+Opposite²

6²=5²+x²

x²=36-25

x²=11

x=√11=3.32 ft.

The wires are attached 3.32 ft from the base of the pole on the ground

Enter the numerator that makes the equation true.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation in mixed fraction form as;

1 3/4 + 1 1/3 = 1 _/12 + 1 4/12 ⇒  7/4  + 4/3 = _ + 16/12

7/4  + 4/3 = _ + 16/12

37/12 = _ + 16/12

37/12 - 16/12 = _

= 21/ 12

= 1 9/12

= 1 3/4
