Answer: 23 , 24 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x , the second number x+1 and the third number x + 2 , this implies

x + x+1 + x + 2 = 72

3x + 3 = 72

3x = 69 x

x = 23

therefore the first number = 23

second number = 23+1 = 24

Third number = 23 +2 = 25

VikaD [51]
That's an excellent question but we don't have enough information to answer it. We would need to know how the electrical energy is generated. Nuclear, hydroelectric, coal burning, wind, and natural gas burning all produce different amounts of carbon for the same amount of electrical energy. If the utility that supplies your house uses nuclear or wind, then you can leave both bulbs shining 24/7 and they're not responsible for any carbon.

If x = -3 is a zero of f(x), which of the following must be true?
Alla [95]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: You make the values in the parentheses equal to zero.

(X + 3) = 0

X = -3

A is wrong because the root would be 3, not negative 3. C is wrong because 3 isn’t guaranteed to be a root. D is wrong because -3 is a real solution.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Middle: 2.5  ft

Right: 4,375  ft

Left: 1,875 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a tree in the middle is 2.5 feet tall.

Now the tree on the left measures 3/4 of the tree in the middle, therefore:

2.5 * 3/4 = 1.875

Which means that the tree on the left is 1.875 feet tall.

Finally the tree on the right 1 3/4, which would be 1.75 times the tree in the middle, therefore:

2.5 * 1.75 = 4.375

Therefore the tree on the right is 4.375 feet tall.
