Hello!

We can write this as the system of equations below. We have boxes A, B, and C.

A+B+C=9
B=A+1
C=B+1

First of all we can plug our B and C values into the first equation and solve for A.

A+A+1+A+1+1=9
3a+3=9
3a=6
a=2

Now we can plug our a value into the other equations.

B=2+1
B=3

C=3+1
C=4

Therefore, there are 2 rocks in one box, three in another, and 4 in the last.

I hope this helps!

Aiden borrows a book a public library. He read a few pages on day one. One day two, he reads twice the number of pages than he r
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

110 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1 =x

Day 2 =2x

Day 3 =x-6

(x)+(2x)+(x-6)=458

Add likes together.

4x-6=458

4x=464.  Divide both sides by 4 to get x. X=116

Day 3=116-6=110

Dicriminant of x² – 49 = 0
Mama L [17]

Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant (Δ) is given by:

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Where the polynomial is in the form:

ax^2+bx+c=0

In this problem, a = 1, b = 0, and c = -49. Thus, plugging it into the formula:

\Delta = 0^2-4(1)(-49) = -(-196) = 196

Thus, the discriminant of x² – 49 = 0 is 196.

Classify the real number. (Choose all that apply). –9 A.) Rational B.) Whole C.) Irrational D.) Natural E.) Integer
IRISSAK [1]
Whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on and negative numbers are not considered whole numbers.

natural numbers are called the counting numbers that are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. they are positive numbers and zero is not considered a natural number as you can see.

integers are all the whole numbers and their opposite (negative) but negative numbers are NOT whole or natural numbers. fractions and decimals are not integers.

rational numbers are numbers that include all the integers, plus all fractions, or terminating decimals and repeating decimals.

irrational numbers are an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point, without repeating.


so your answer is integer and rational, hope this helped! :)
