The sum of three consecutive intergers is 57 find the intergers

We know that "consecutive" means next to each other.

Let's make "x" the first integer, x+1 the second, and x+2 the third. For example, we could make x = 1.

Then we can plug this into our equation:

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 57.

1 + (1+1) + (1+2) = 57

1 + 2 + 3 = 57.

So as you can tell, this does NOT work.

Let's continue the original equation:

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 57.

Combine like terms:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 57.

3x = 57 - 2 - 1.

3x = 54.

x = 18.

x + 1 = 19

x + 2 = 20.

Add these up for proof: 18 + 19 + 20 = 57

K + a + h = 50
a = 2h
k = h - 10

(h - 10) + 2h + h = 50
4h - 10 = 50
4h = 50 + 10
4h = 60
h = 60/4
h = 15 <=== Henry sent 15

a = 2h
a = 2(15)
a = 30 <=== Aldo sent 30

k = h - 10
k = 15 - 10
k = 5 <=== Keiko sent 5

Tins of paint are filled at the rate of 2m3 per minute.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

  160,000 tins

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tins, divide the fill rate by the volume per tin.

__

  (2·(1000 L)/min)×(60 min)/(1 h)/(0.75 L/tin) = 160,000 tin/h

160,000 tins of paint can be filled in 1 hour.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's one tin every 22.5 milliseconds. It would be a feat of engineering to move that volume without splashing.

There are 60 minutes per hour. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter.
