Three consecutive integers exist where the smallest is fifteen less than twice the larger. Find the integers

Consecutive integers are integers that appear one after the other. so let's call them x, x+1, and x+2.

the smallest (which is x) is 15 less than twice the larger. "the larger" is a bit unclear, but i'm assuming it is referring to the x+1 integer, because it doesn't say the "largest". so x = 2(x+1) - 15. let's try to solve for x.

x = 2(x+1) - 15
x = 2x + 2 - 15
x = 2x - 13
subtract 2x from both sides.
-x = -13
x = 13
x+1 = 14
x+2 = 15

your integers are 13, 14, and 15.

Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
seropon [69]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

What b represents here is the y intercept.

The first thing we will do here is to find the slope.

Mathematically;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plugging the values;

m = (12-3)/(7-4) = 9/3 = 3

The equation can thus be written as;

y = 3x + b

To get b, we can use any of the points since they lie on the line

Let’s use point M

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

3 = 3(4) + b

3 = 12 + b

b = 3-12 = -9

Ummm sooo I’m really confused and it’s due tomorrow please help me
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar, it means the ratio between the two give sides is the same. As seen from the smaller triangle the ratio of the two top sides would be 16:50 or 8:25.

Since the first side of the bigger triangle (24) is three times 8 (it's ratio side), then the other side must be 3x25 = 75, which maintains the ratio 8:25 between the two sides (24:75).

Hope this helped!

Find the area of the figure:
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

To find the area of she shaded part we first need to find the total of the area.

L x W

8 x 5 = 40 is the total area

Now we need to find the area of the non - shaded part

Since it is a square all sides are equal the short lines sticking from the sides indicate that

2 x 2 = 4

Now we subtract the total area from the non shaded area.

40 - 4 = 36
