Three friends all have ages that are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 180. What is the age of the oldest friend?

Mathematics

Lynna [10]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest friend=X+2; Middle friend=X+1; Youngest friend=X

X+(X+1)+(X+2)=180

3X+3=180 Subtract 3 from each side.

3X=177 Divide each side by 3

X=59 Youngest friend is 59.

X+2=59+2=61 ANSWER: Oldest friend is 61.

X+2=59+1=60 Middle friend is 60.

CHECK:

Sum is 180

59+60+61=180

180=180

A polynomial equation with rational coefficients has the roots -8 and 2-i. Find two additional roots
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial is a cubic (third-degree), then it is

f(x) = x³+4x²-27x+40

and the other root is 2+i.

However, if we need two additional roots, it implies that the polynomial is a quartic (fourth degree).  In that case, we need additional information.  Reread the original question and  update post if necessary.

34. The sum of the lengths of the two bases of a trapezoid
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

h=6

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for a trapezoid’s area is to multiply the bases (a and b) by the height of the trapezoid, then divide it all by 2.

so typed out, that would look like:

((a+b) h) / 2

and in the case of this problem:

((22) h) / 2 = 66

so just go ahead and solve it algebraically from there and you’re good!

Can you help me with the problem and explain it. :) thank you

Ricardo would swim a farther distance in 1 hour. By taking the number of miles he swam and in the fraction of the hour, you can find the answer.

Divide 5 1/4 by 3 because it took 3/5 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 1 3/4 for 1/5 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 1 3/4 to 5 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8  3/4

Divide 4 1/2 by 5 because it took 5/9 of an hour to swim that far. That would lead to 9/10 for 1/9 of an hour. Now that we know this, we can multiply 9/10 to 9 to get how much he would swim in 1 hour which is 8 1/10

Since 8 1/10 is less than 8 3/4, Ricardo swam farther
