Answer:

-188, -187, -186

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x+1) +(x+2) will usually be the formula for questions like this. If there wer 4 consecutive numbers, you just add (x+3) and so on.

The three integers are:

x + (x+1) + (x+2) Simplify this :

3x+3 = -561 Get 3x by itself, subtract 3 on both sides:

-3 -3

3x = -564 Find x divide -564 and 3:

x = -188

-188 is the first number now you count up.

-188 is the first number, -187 is the second, -186 is the third.

Hope this helps : )

the polynomial 3x+5 is divided by x+2 what is the quotient, pls be quick im taking a algebra progress check due in 25 min

Answer:

The quotient of the rational function is $3 -\frac{1}{x+2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to solve the expression by solely algebraic means below:

1) $\frac{3\cdot x + 5}{x+2}$ Given

2) $\frac{(3\cdot x + 5) + 0}{x + 2}$ Modulative property

3) $\frac{(3\cdot x +5) + [1+(-1)]}{x+2}$ Existence of additive inverse/Associative property

4) $\frac{(3\cdot x + 6)+(-1)}{x+2}$ Definition of addition/Commutative and associative properties

5) $\frac{3\cdot (x+2)}{x+2} + \left(-\frac{1}{x+2} \right)$ $\frac{a+b}{c} = \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c}$ / $\frac{-a}{b} = \frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ /Distributive property

6) $3 -\frac{1}{x+2}$ Definition of division/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Modulative property/Definition of subtraction/Result

The quotient of the rational function is $3 -\frac{1}{x+2}$ .
