Answer:

112, 119 and 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive  multiples of 7 be 7n, 7(n+1) and 7(n+2)  where n is an integer,  then:-

7n + 7n + 7 + 7n + 14 = 357

21n + 21 = 357

21(n + 1) = 357

n = (357/21) - 1

n = 17 + 1 = 16.

So the numbers are 7*16 = 112, 7*17 = 119 and 7*18 = 126.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Temperature after 1 minute = 184 ° F

Step-by-step explanation:

starting temperature = 200 °F

rate of decrease = 8% per minute

Temperature lost = 8% of 200 = 8/100 × 200 = 0.08 × 200 = 16 °F

It therefore means that after 1 minute, the cup of coffee loses 16 °F,

∴ Temperature after 1 minute = (starting temperature) - (lost temperature)

= 200 - 16 = 184 °F

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=84.

3n+3=84.

The factorised form of k2 - 17 k + 16

= the third one ...
(k-1)(k-16)
