Three consecutive integers: Let the first be x. Then the second would be x+1 and the third would be x+2. The sum of these 3 consecutive integers would then be x + x+1 + x+2, or 3x + 3.
Unless you know what this sum is (numerically speaking), you cannot solve this problem for x.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice, Pi + (-Pi) = 0
Discussion:
Pi is an irrational number. Saying the irrational numbers <u>are</u> closed under addition means if we add two irrational numbers we will get another irrational number. In our case, Pi + (-Pi) = 0, which is correct, BUT 0 is a <u>rational </u>number. This shows the set of irrational numbers is NOT closed under addition.
Thank you,

Answer:
<h2>30 ft. tall</h2><h2 />
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio and proportion:
<u>20 ft. long</u> = <u> 4 ft. long</u>
x tall 6 ft. tall
4 (x) = 20 (6)
x = 120 / 4
x = 30 ft. tall
Factor
(x-8)(x+3)
Check:
-8+3=-5
-8*3=-24
Use ZPP
x-8=0
x=8
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=8
