Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 1 < 11
Add 1 on both sides.
4x - 1 + 1 < 11 + 1
4x < 12
Divide both sides by 4.
(4x)/4 < 12/4
x < 3
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
D) 65% decrease.
I worked it out by: 268 mill - 94 mill (calculating the difference in money)
then divided that by the original 268 mill, to finally get 0.64925....
And since the money is decreasing, it is a 65% decrease.
Hope this helps, and I think it should be right - but maybe double check in case :)
