Let the largest of the three integers be x. The next smaller one is x - 1, and the smallest is x - 2.
Now we add them and set the sum equal to -204.
x + x - 1 + x - 2 = -204
3x - 3 = -204
3x = -201
x = -67
Answer: The largest integer is -67.

Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 19-4 to get you the price without the intial fee. The answer is 15. Then divide 15/1.25 to get you 12 miles.
15ft because 12x.25=3 so 3ft is 25% of the 12ft, add the 3+12=15
√10x-24 = x
Step by step solution :
STEP
1
:
Isolate the square root on the left hand side
Radical already isolated
√10x-24 = x
STEP
2
:
Eliminate the radical on the left hand side
Raise both sides to the second power
(√10x-24)2 = (x)2
After squaring
10x-24 = x2
STEP
3
:
Solve the quadratic equation
Rearranged equation
x2 - 10x + 24 = 0
This equation has two rational roots:
{x1, x2}={6, 4}
STEP
4
:
Check that the first solution is correct
Original equation
√10x-24 = x
Plug in 6 for x
√10•(6)-24 = (6)
Simplify
√36 = 6
Solution checks !!
Solution is:
x = 6
STEP
5
:
Check that the second solution is correct
Original equation
√10x-24 = x
Plug in 4 for x
√10•(4)-24 = (4)
Simplify
√16 = 4
Solution checks !!
Solution is:
x = 4
