The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 1146, find the numbers.

-BARSIC- [3]

$\text{Let the 3 consecutive numbers be}~ x,~x+1~ \text{and} ~x+2.\\\\\text{According to the condition,}\\\\x+x+1+x+2 = 1146\\\\\implies 3x +3 = 1146\\\\\implies 3(x+1) = 1146\\\\\implies x+1 = \dfrac{1146}3 = 382\\\\\implies x= 382-1 = 381\\\\\text{Now, the numbers are}~ 381,~382~\text{and}~383$

Please help me on 1 and 4

Advocard [28]

1.so what you are going to do it add up all the sides but not just in any order you are going to add up the like terms so 2/3x+1/3x+2/3x+1/3x that adds up to be 2x and the add up 10+5+10+5 which equals 30 so there you go. Your perimeter= 2x+30
2. -2/3 has a repeating decimal

Please Help!! The line plot shows the length of insects in inches that were collected, how much longer is the longest insect tha

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a line plot that shows lengths of insects and the quantity of insects that fits the description.

For instance, there are 4 Xs for 1/8. This means that there are four insects that are 1/8 inches long. Likewise, there is only 1 X for 7/8. This means that are is only one insect that is 7/8 inches long.

To find out how much longer is the longest insect than the shortest insect, we simply need to subtract the shortest into the longest.

The longest insect we have is the lone insect who is 7/8 inches long.

And the shortest insects we have are the four insects who each measure 1/8. However, we only need 1.

So, subtract:

$\frac{7}{8} -\frac{1}{8}$

Combine fractions with common denominators:

$=\frac{7-1}{8}\\$

Subtract:

$=\frac{6}{8}$

The answer is D.

Find the missing x value for for question 14

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

x=12 but who knows maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

if we are trying to say those lines are equal length than surely the equations must be equal value otherwise they aren't equal so we can probably set them equal to each other and solve for x right? 2x+6=3x-6 subtract 6. 2x=3x-12. subtract 3x. -1x=-12. divide by -1 so x=12.
