Just as an example, three consecutive integers might be 4,5,6.

If x is the least of these (4 in our example), then the other two integers would be x+1, and x+2.

Then the sum of our three integers is x + (x+1) + (x+2). 

Addition is commutative so we can switch any two terms, and it is also associative so we can regroup any terms. This lets is rearrange things with all the "x" together and all the numbers together like this:

(x+x+x) + (1+2) OR 3x + 3

According to the problem, the sum is 126, so 3x+3 = 126.
3x = 123
x = 41 (which is the smallest consecutive integer)

Check our answer: 41 + 42 + 43 = 126.

Highschool level trigonometry!!! Need help knowing step by step how to find answer!
Goshia [24]

Answer:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)

So, we want to find θ.

Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.

We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{2}{15}

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

\displaystyle \theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{15}\Big)

Use a calculator. Hence:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.

There are 50 tickets in a raffle bag, and 10 of the tickets belong to Gary. A ticket is chosen at random, and the ticket owner's
Helga [31]
The probability of it happening once is 1/5, since 10/50 simplifies to 1/5. Because the ticket goes back in the bag, the probability stays constant at 1/5.

For it to happen twice, you multiply the probability of it happening once, twice.

1/5 • 1/5 = 1/25 probability of it being Gary's name twice in a row.
