Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smaller two is three times the largest increased by seven

1 answer:

4 0

Let the three odd integers be x - 2, x and x + 2
x - 2 + x = 3(x + 2) + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 6 + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 13
3x - 2x = -2 - 13
x = -15

The three consecutive odd integers are -17, -15 and -13.

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 27 centimeters by 18 centimeters, by cutting

GaryK [48]

By cutting each corner we have that the resulting dimensions are:
27 - 2x
18 - 2x
Height = x
Therefore, the volume of the box in terms of the variable x, is given by:
V (x) = (x) * (27-2x) * (18-2x)
Answer:
The volume of the box in terms of x is:
(27-x) (18-x) x

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 113 and a leg is 112.

melomori [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Use the formula: $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

Remember $c^{2}$ should always be the hypotenuse or the longest side.

$112^{2}+b^{2}=113^{2}$ ---> evaluate the exponents

$12544+b^{2}=12769$ ----> subtract 12544 to the other side

$b^{2}=225$ ---> take the square root of both sides

$b=15$

What is the reciprocal of 5 in fraction

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5. Every number has a reciprocal except for 0. There is nothing you can multiply by 0 to create a product of 1, so it has no reciprocal. Reciprocals are used when dividing fractions.

Hope this helps have a good day and God bless! <3
