The answer is <em>16, 18, and 20</em><em />

Here's how we find that out:

First we have to know what consecutive integers are: When you have a group of consecutive integers, the mean (average of all the numbers) and the median ( middle number after all the numbers are placed from least to greatest) must be equal. 

Correct consecutive integers:

- 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

- 2, 4, 6

- 7, 9, 11

Incorrect consecutive integers:

- 1, 3, 5, 7

- 2, 4, 6, 8

- 11, 13

Now that we know how consecutive integers work, we can set up an equation and solve for our answer:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=54

The reason this is our equation is because if we look at it, we are using x as our first integer, that way once we find our first consecutive integers, the next two require no more math to find. This is an example of why our equaion looks like it does:

Let's say we had our three consecutive integers of 2, 4, and 6 that add up to 12. In our case, 2 will be the x in our equation.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=12
x+(4)+(6)=12

That is how our equation will work. Now to put it to use to our problem and simplify it until we find our first integer:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=54............................Combine our like terms 

3x+6=54..........................................Subtract 6 from both sides

3x=54-6...........................................Simplify

3x=48..............................................Divide both sides by 3

x=16................................................First Integer!

Now that we know our first integer, we just plug it into our equation and find the other two! :)

16+(16+2)+(16+4)=54

16+(18)+(20)=54

54=54

And there you have it. Our three integers are: <em>16, 18, and 20</em><em />

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions! :D

Define Following:consistent equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1. Consistent equations

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

4 = 2

7. One solution

3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Consistent equations

A consistent equation is one that has a solution, that is there exist a complete set of solution of the unknown values that resolves all the equations in the system.

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

A dependent system of equations consist of the equation of a line presented in two alternate forms, leading to the existence of an infinite number of solutions.

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

These are equations with the same roots or solution

e.g. 9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

Inconsistent equations are equations that are not solvable based on the provided set of values in the equations

e.g. x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

An independent equation is an equation within a system of equation, that is not derivable based on the other equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

No solution indicates that the solution is not in existence

Example,  4 = 2

7. One solution

This is an equation that has exactly one solution

Example 3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2

Jeremiah jogged 3 3/4 miles on Saturday morning and 2 1/2 miles Saturday evening. How many miles did he jog on Saturday?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

6.25 Miles

6 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 2 = 5 MILES

1/2 you want the denominator to equal 4 so you times it by two

= 2/4

2/4+3/4= 5/4

this gives you one full mile and 1/4

add all together 5+1+1/4

I am picking this is right :)

Which is the graph of the sequence defined by the function f(x + 1) = 2/3 f(x) if the initial value of the sequence is 108?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The fourth graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have f(x + 1)  so the x values will be increased by 1.

first value = 108 (when x  = 1)

next value = 108 * 2/3 = 72 (when x = 2)

next = 72 * 2/ 3= 48 (when x = 3)

next = 48 * 2/3 = 32 (when x = 4)
