consecutive integers are 1 apart


3 of them are x, x+1, x+2


x is the 1st integer, x+1 is the 2nd integer, x+2 is the 3rd integer




if the first and third integer are added (add x and x+2 together), then the result is 87 less than 5 times the 2nd integer (-87+5(x+1))



basically

(x)+(x+2)=-87+5(x+1)

expand and nice it up

2x+2=-87+5x+5

addd like terms

2x+2=-82+5x

minus 2x from both sides

2=-82+3x

add 82 to both sides

84=3x

divide both sides by 3

28=x

we can now find the 2 other integers

x+1=28+1=29

x+2=28+2=30


the 3rd integer is 30

Short Response 16. Parallel lines p and q are cut by transversal t to form angles 1-8. If 22 and 27 are alter- nate exterior ang
olga55 [171]

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are congruent so we know that ∠2 ≅ ∠ 7. Vertical angles are also congruent so ∠7 ≅ ∠6. Consecutive interior angles are supplementary so we know that ∠6 and ∠4 are supplementary. Now, we can use the Transitive Property (this states that if a = b and b = c then a = c) to compare ∠2 and ∠4. In this case, a = ∠2, b = ∠7 and c = ∠6 so we know that ∠2 ≅ ∠6 and since ∠6 is supplementary to ∠4, we can use the Transitive Property again to conclude that ∠2 and ∠4 are supplementary.

Is anyone good at word problems?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

X + P = 34

330X + 250P = 9620

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that there were 34 consoles sold. Therefore, we can draw the straight forward conclusion that whatever combination of consoles were sold, the number Xboxes (X) and PS4s (P) sold together has to be 34 in total. Thus:

X + P = 34

Now, we know the each Xbox sold for $330, and each PS4 sold for $250, and the total sales from the consoles bought was $9620. Thus:

$330X + $250P = $9620

Hope this helps!

There are 165 deer in a state park. The population is increasing at the rate of 12% per year. Enter a prediction for how long it
Paha777 [63]
The deer population will reach 309 in approximately 6 yrs


Year 1. 165•1.12=184.8
Year 2. 184.8•1.12=206.976
Year 3. 206.976•1.12=231.813
Year 4. 231.813•1.12=259.63
Year 5. 259.63•1.12=290.785
Year 6. 290.785•1.12=325.679

Therefore it will take 6 years for the deer’s population to reach 300
