Answer: 7,8,9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a, a+1 and a+2. Therefore, based on the question, this will be:
= (a + 1)(a + 2) = 72
a² + 2a + a + 2 = 72
a² + 3a + 2 - 72 = a
a² + 3a - 70 = 0
a² + 10a - 7a - 70 = 0
a(a + 10) - 7(a + 10)
a - 7 = 0
a = 7
Since a = 7
a + 1 = 7+1 = 8
a + 2 = 7+2 = 9
The numbers are 7,8 and 9
Answer:
The total amount that he would have paid after 3 years is $1183.
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining simple interest which is expressed as
I = PRT/100
I represents interest paid on the amount owed.
P represents the principal or initial amount owed.
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration for which the amount was owed in years.
P = $795
R = 16.25
T = 3 years
I = (795 × 16.25 × 3) ÷ 100
I = $388
Total amount that he would have paid after 3 years is $795 + $388 = $1183
In order to subtract fractions, we must find a common denominator, then subtract the numerators.
The common denominator (LCM(3, 5)) is 15.
We must multiply the first numerator by 5, because 3*5=15 and the second numerator by 3 because 5*3=15.
We get 
.
All we need to do now is subtract the numerators: 
.
The answer is 14/15.
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter (p) = 8 + 17 + 15 = 40
semi-perimeter (s) = p/2 = 20
Area = square root of s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) where a,b,c are the sides of the triange by Herons formula.
Therefore, area = 20(20-8)(20-15)(20-17) = square root of 3600 = 60
Answer:
k=-3
x=63
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
We know x and y we can solve for k
-87 = k*29
Divide each side by 29
-87/29 = k
-3 =k
y= -3x
Now we know y = -189, we can find x
-189 = -3x
Divide by -3
-189/-3 = -3x/-3
63 =x
