Answer:
C. -84
Step-by-step explanation:
It is the smallest because when placed on a number line, it will be the farthest left.
If n stands for the smallest number, then the second and third number would be (n + 1) and (n + 2)
Write the equation based on what are given
the sum of three numbers = 72
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72
Then, solve the equation
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72
3n + 3 = 72
3n = 72 - 3
3n = 69
n = 69/3
n = 23
The smallest number is 23
Commutative Property of Multiplication
No it does not. when solved you should get y=3/x, meaning it shows inverse variation.
For all linear functions
f(x)=mx+b
m = slope
b = y-intercept (i.e.value of f(0), or value of y when x=0)
We're given
f(x)=-2x+5 => slope = -2, y-intercept=5
Examine the graph of g(x),
we have two intercepts (0,4) and (2,0)
this means slope=(0-4)/(2-0)=-2
y-intercept = 4 (y-value of (0,4)
therefore the equation of g(x)
g(x)=-2x+4 => slope = -2, y-intercept = 4
Means
A. slope of f(x)=slope of g(x) =-2
B. y-intercept of f(x)=5 > y-intercept of g(x)=4
