For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537

Multiply and Simplify:

x+x+1+x+2=537

3x+3=537

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x+3-3=537-3

3x=534

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3=537/3

x=179

179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537

180 is the third number.

An open box is constructed from a square 10-inch piece of cardboard by cutting squares of length x inches out of each corner and

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: V = 8x^3-80x^3 +200x

Domain 0<x<5

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of cardboard = 10 by 10

Let the length of box = 10-2x

Let the width of box = 10 - 2x

Let the height of box be =x

Volume = l×w×h

V = (10-2x)×(10-2x)×x

V= 100 - 40x +42 × x

V= 8x^3 -80x^2 +200x

Show that any number of the form ABCABC (e.g. 356356) is divisible by 13.

Shtirlitz [24]

We could write such a number as

$10^5a+10^4b+10^3c+10^2a+10b+c$

$=10^2(10^3+1)a+10(10^3+1)b+(10^3+1)c$

$=(10^3+1)(100a+10b+c)$

$10^3+1=1001=13\cdot77$ so we're done.
