Answer:
-58, -57, -56
Step-by-step explanation:
if the first integer is x,
the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)
and the third must be x + 2
Therefore:
3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:
3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342
Combine like terms in parentheses
3 * (2x + 2) = -342
Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:
6x + 6 = -342
Subtract 6 on both sides
6x = -348
Divide by 6 on both sides
x = -58
x + 1 = -57
x + 2 = -56
-58, -57, -56
Check:
3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342
Step-by-step explanation:
it is solved directly by using the formula
not a funtion, is a funtion, not a funtion, is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you divide the 10 and the 5, which leaves you with 2. Then you do 15-2+5 from left to right, and it equals 18.
