Answer:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 5 (x + 2) - 41

3x + 3 = 5x + 10 - 41

3x + 3 = 5x - 31

34 = 2x

17 = x

The three integers are 17, 18, and 19 <---

Step 3: 2x > 10 Step 4: x > 5 What property justifies the work between step 3 and step 4? A. division property of inequali

BigorU [14]

Answer:

A. Division property of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $2\cdot x > 10$ , we proceed to show the appropriate procedure to step 4:

1) $2\cdot x >10$ Given

2) $x > 5$ Compatibility with multiplication/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Associative property/Modulative property/Result. (Division property of inequality)

In consequence, the division property of inequality which states that:

$\forall\, a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$ . If $c > 0$ , then:

$a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c > b\cdot c \,\lor\, a$

But if $c < 0$ , then:

$a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c < b\cdot c \,\lor\, a b\cdot c$

Hence, correct answer is A.

It took the carriage 2.5 hours to travel 20 miles. H ow long will it take for the carriage to travel in 12 miles

Tomtit [17]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}

\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2.5&20\\
h&12
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.5}{h}=\cfrac{20}{12}\implies \cfrac{2.5\cdot 12}{20}=h$
