Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3
y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5
So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.
You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
The correct answer is -3 through -6.
This would be SAS. If that’s wrong I’m sorry but it’s the only thing that makes sense, the dashes indicate they are the same and then the circle at the point also indicates that they’re the same so you have two sides and one angle that are the same, so it should be SAS.
Answer:
A) y=.50x+15
B) The graph would be a line starting in the bottom left corner and rising to the upper right, the start of the y axis would be 1, as it represents the miles, and the start of the x axis would be 0.50, as it represents the amount of money charged per mile.
C) If you apply the formula y=mx+b to the equation, you will see that 0.50 is the slope, and 15 is the y-intercept.
We have a rectangle with length L that is 3 inches more than the width W. Then we can write this as:
The area of the rectangle is 180 square inches.
We have to find the width W.
As the area is equal to the product of the length and the width, we can write this equation and solve for W as:
We have a quadratic equation. The roots of this equation will be the mathematical solutions.
We can find the roots using the quadratic formula:
![\begin{gathered} W=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{3^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-180)}}{2\cdot1} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{9+720}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{729}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm27}{2} \\ W_1=\frac{-3-27}{2}=-\frac{30}{2}=-15 \\ W_2=\frac{-3+27}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B3%5E2-4%5Ccdot1%5Ccdot%28-180%29%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot1%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B9%2B720%7D%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B729%7D%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm27%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W_1%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3-27%7D%7B2%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B30%7D%7B2%7D%3D-15%20%5C%5C%20W_2%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%2B27%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B24%7D%7B2%7D%3D12%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The solutions are W = -15 and W = 12.
The first one is not valid, as W has to be greater than 0.
Then, the solution to our problem is W = 12 in.
Answer: the width is W = 12 inches.
