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

The coordinates of the points A and B are (0,-2) and (3,0), what is the y intercept of the line AB
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The y-intercept of points A and B is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is the y-intercept. You can tell by looking at the x and seeing that it is 0. This means the point is the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

Which statement must be true? Two triangles placed side by side. Two sides each of the triangles are equal in length. The third
sladkih [1.3K]

It is impossible to determine the relationship between x and y from the question about the triangle. Hence,  the correct option is D. This is because none of the sides are labelled x or y from the information provided.

<h3>What are the relationships that exist between the sides of a triangle?</h3>

It is important to note that:

The side with the highest length is the side that is opposite the biggest angle.

It is also important to note that the angle that is least will always be opposite the side that is smallest.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 1.8 &amp; x
Valentin [98]

Answer:

x ≈ 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin50° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{RS}{RT} = \frac{x}{1.8} ( multiply both sides by 1.8 )

1.8 × sin50° = x , then

x ≈ 1.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
