Answer:

14 (the smallest number

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x +1+x+2 =45

3x+3 =45

3x=45 - 3

3x=42

x=42 :3

x=14 (the first number, the smallest

14 +1 =15 (the second number

14 +2 =16 (the third number

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, C, and D, are all functions. the " { " is saying that those functions can are different at different points. For A the function is $A= -x-2$ when $x< 2$ and then $A=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ . At the point $x=-2$ you can see that the function on the graph is going in two different directions but it stops at $x=-2$ .

Based on the graph you can see that the line on the left has a slope of -1 and if it kept going it would cross the y-axis at $y=-2$ , therefore the equation for the first line is $y =-x-2$ when $x$
