Answer:
13, 14, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = age of one of the siblings
Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2
x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42
3x + 3 = 42
collect like terms and solve for x
x = 13
The age of the first sibling is 13
The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14
The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
3(y-2) + 2(y-2) = 5(y-2)
Both terms have the base (y-2), so they can be added together.
3 + 2 = 5
<span>In order to find the </span>distance<span> between the two points we utilize the </span>Pythagorean Theorem<span>,: </span>
<span>Distance = Square Root ( (X difference)^2 + (Y difference)^2 )</span>
So we have
Square Root (-5 -3)^2 + (-2 -13)^2 =
Square Root -8^2 + -15^2 =
Square Root (64 + 225)
=17
