Numbers are 416, 417 and 418

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Let the numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2. Given that their sum is 1251.

⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 1251

⇒ 3x + 3 = 1251

⇒ 3x = 1248

⇒ x = 416

Step 2:

Find the other numbers.

⇒ x + 1 = 417 and x + 2 = 418

Jack is mowing a lawn that has a shed. needs to know area of lawn to mow. dimensions of yard are 5x by 13 x-4 . she'd are 2x by

Elena-2011 [213]

The diagram of the lawn and the shed is shown below.

The area of the lawn needed to be mowed equals to the area of the yard minus the area of the shed

The area of the yard = $(5x)(13x-4) = 65 x^{2} -20x$
The area of the shed = $(2x)(2x+4)=4 x^{2} +8x$

The area of the lawn = $65 x^{2} -20x-(4 x^{2} +8x)$
The area of the lawn = $65 x^{2} -20x-4 x^{2} -8x$
The area of the lawn = $61 x^{2} -28x$

What non-zero rational number must be placed in the square so that the simplified product of these two binomials is a binomial:

aleksandrvk [35]

The product would expand to

$(7t-10)(5t+x)=35t^2+7tx-50t-10x=35t^2+(7x-50)t-10x$

This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable $x$ .

So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.

In the first case, we require

$7x-50=0 \iff 7x=50 \iff x=\dfrac{50}{7}=\dfrac{49}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}=7\dfrac{1}{7}$

In the second case, we require

$-10x=0\iff 10x=0 \iff x=0$

But $x$ must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.

A dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 per walk plus an hourly rate of $30. How much does the dog walkercharge for a 45 minute w

leonid [27]

hello

from the question given, the dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 and an extra $30 per hour.

we can write out an equation in function notation

let the number of hours be represented by x

$f(x)=6+30x$

now we can proceed to solve the cost of the walk for 45 minutes

$\begin{gathered} 1hr=60\min s \\ \text{xhr}=45\min s \\ x=\frac{45}{60} \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{therefore 45mins = 3/4 hours} \end{gathered}$

now we can input the value into the equation and know the cost for 45 minutes walk

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=6+30x \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ f(x)=6+30(\frac{3}{4}) \\ f(x)=6+22.5 \\ f(x)=28.5 \end{gathered}$

from the calculation above, the cost of 45 minutes walk will cost $28.5

Solve the equation X/-2=5

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$ :

$\frac{x}{-2} = 5$

-Multiply both sides by $-2$

$x = 5 \times (-2)$

$\boxed {x = -10}$

So, therefore, value of $x$ is $-10$ .
