Answer: -119, -120, and -121

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of three consecutive integers is -354 and it asks us to find the integers. Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

X + 2 ⇒ third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is -354, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = -354

Now, we can simplify on the left side of the equation.

3x + 3 = -354

-3 -3 ← subtract 3 on both sides of the equation

3x = -357

÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3

X = -119

X ⇒ first integer = -119

X + 1 ⇒ second integer = -120

X + 2 ⇒ third integer = -121

Therefore, our three consecutive integers are -119, -120, and -121.

Write an equation of the line that is parallel to y =

Scilla [17]

Answer:

y=12x-125

Step-by-step explanation:

y=12x+3

parallel lines have same slopes,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=12(x-10)

y+5=12x-120

y=12x-120-5

y=12x-125

Factor the expression below

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(2x² + 5x + 2) = (2x + 1)(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is (2x² + 5x + 2).

We have to factorize the given expression.

(2x²+ 5x + 2) = 2x² + 4x + x + 2

= 2x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

= (2x + 1)(x + 2)

So the factored form of the given expression will be (2x + 1)(x + 2).

Problem Page At a certain college, 49% of the students are female, and 19% of the students major in civil engineering. Furthermo

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A=Students are female

B=Students major in civil engineering

The probability that a students are female=P(A)= $\frac{49}{100}=0.49$

The probability that a student major in civil engineering=P(B)= $\frac{19}{100}=0.19$

The probability that students both are female= $P(A\cap B)=\frac{12}{100}=0.12$

a.We have to find the probability that a random selected female student major in civil engineering.

We have to find $P(B/A)$

$P(B/A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$

$P(B/A)=\frac{0.12}{0.49}=0.24$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected female student majors in civil engineering=0.24

b.We have to find the probability that a random selected civil engineering major is female.

We have to find $P(A/B)$

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.12}{0.19}=0.63$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected civil engineering major is female=0.63

The state of Utah has a sales tax of 4.75% and the maximum rate a consumer can pay for local sales tax is 8.35%. What is the ran

Nikolay [14]

Answer: Yes, Its range is At least 4.75% and at most 13.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents rate of consume paid by consumer,

Then According to the question,

The maximum rate a consumer can pay for local sales tax is 8.35%

Since, the minimum tax rate can be 0,

⇒ 0 ≤ x ≤ 8.35

⇒ 0 + 4.75 ≤ x + 4.75 ≤ 8.35 + 4.75

⇒ 4.75 ≤ x + 4.75 ≤ 13.1

Where, 4.75 is the sales tax,

Since, total tax = consumer tax + sales tax,

Hence, x + 4.75 represents the total tax paid by consumer,

⇒ 4.75 ≤ Total tax ≤ 13.1

⇒ The range of of possible sales tax rates that a consumer could pay on a taxable item in the state of Utah can be at least 4.75 % and can be at most 13.1 %
