6 0

3 consecutive numbers....x, x + 1 and x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
x = 69/3
x = 23

x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

so ur numbers are 23,24,25 with 25 being the largest

What is the midpoint of QR. Q(2,4) and R(-3,9)

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The answer is

$( - \frac{1}{2} \: , \: \frac{13}{2}) \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )\\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

Q(2,4) and R(-3,9)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{2 - 3}{2} \: , \: \frac{9 + 4}{2} ) \\$

We have the final answer as

$( - \frac{1}{2} \: , \: \frac{13}{2}) \\$

Hope this helps you

Well based on this information, I don't think that this is a valid inference. There isn't enough data to go off of in order to answer this question.
