The sum of three consecutive integers is 168. What are the integers

1 answer:

Tema [17]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

3X + 3 = 168

3X + 3 - 3 = 168 - 3

3X = 165

3X/3 = 165/3

X = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 168. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows: (X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 168

Two quantities, x and y, are directly proportional. If x is tripled, what happens to y? It is multiplied by 13. It is tripled. I

Answer: It is tripled.

Since x and y are proportional, whatever happens to x must happen to y in order for the two values to stay proportional.

Part A: $y=-\frac{5}{4} x+\frac{35}{2}$ is the equation of the line.

Part B: Anika worked 17.5 hours on day 0.

Part C: The setup time decreases with 1 hour and 15 min per day.

Explanation:

Part A: Let us find the equation of the line using the points (2,15) and (6,10)

The equation of the line is given by,

$y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \cdot\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substituting, we get,

$y-15=\frac{10-15}{6-2} (x-2)$

Simplifying, we have,

$y-15=-\frac{5}{4} (x-2)$

$y-15=-\frac{5}{4} x+\frac{5}{2}$

Subtracting both sides by 15, we get,

$y=-\frac{5}{4} x+\frac{35}{2}$

Hence, the equation of the line is $y=-\frac{5}{4} x+\frac{35}{2}$

Part B: To determine the number of hours Anika worked on day 0, let us substitute x = 0 in the equation of the line.

Thus, we get,

$y=\frac{35}{2}\\y=17.5$

Hence, Anika worked 17.5 hours on day 0.

Part C: The setup time decrease per day can be determined using the slope.

The formula for slope is given by

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting , we have,

$m=\frac{10-15}{6-2}=-\frac{5}{4}$

Converting the fraction into hours and minutes, we get,

$-\frac{5}{4}\times60=-75 min$

Since, 1 hour = 60 min

Subtracting 60 and 75 = 15 min

Thus, the setup time decreases with 1 hour and 15 min per day.
