Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers just means like one after another.

This means that:

First number = x

Second number = x + 1

Third number = x + 2

They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.

First number + second number + third number = 78

Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78

Gather the like terms.

3x + 3 = 78

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 78-3 = 75

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.

x = 75/3 = 25

If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.

Therefore it is 25.

Second number = x + 1 = 26

Third number = x + 2 = 27

You drink a beverage with 120 mg of caffeine. Each hour, the caffeine in your system decreases by about 12%. How long until you
uysha [10]

Answer:

  19.44 hours, about 19 hours 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation that describes your caffeine level can be written as ...

  c(t) = 120·(1 -0.12)^t . . . . where t is in hours and c(t) is in mg

We want to find t for c(t) = 10, so ...

  10 = 120(0.88^t)

  10/120 = 0.88^t . . . . . . . divide by 120

  log(1/12) = t·log(0.88) . . . take logarithms

  t = log(1/12)/log(0.88) ≈ 19.4386

It will take about 19.44 hours, or 19 hours 26 minutes, for the caffeine level in your system to decrease to 10 mg.

At basketball practice you made 21 out of 80 shots. Which choice is closest to the percentage of shots you made?
love history [14]
Since this is a percentage, all you have to do is divide 21 from 80 and multiply that by 100
 21/80 = .2625 * 100 is 26.25

The answer closest to this is 25%, so the answer is 25%

Hope this helped! :D
