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.

Answer:

x = 13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a right-angled triangle.

so, we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

where c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

so, in our case

17² = 10² + x²

289 = 100 + x²

189 = x²

x = 13.75

The area of the bottom of a circular pool 452.2 ft2. What is its circumference, rounded to the nearest tenth?
Alborosie
The area of a circle is given by A=Pi*r^2, and its perimeter, P=2*Pi*r.

To get the radius r, you must divide 452.2 by Pi, and then calculate the square root of this quotient.

To get the circumference or perimeter, use the radius in the formula P=2*Pi*r.

Finally, round the number you get to the nearest tenth.

Solve for X. Will give brainliest!
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles ABC and ADE are similar by AA (they share angle A and a right angle), their ratio of sides must be equal. Therefore:

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2}{x+2}

Multiply both sides by 2:

1=\dfrac{4}{x+2}

Multiply both sides by x+2:

x+2=4

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x=2

Hope this helps!
