I believe that it is E since it is pretty obvious where the middle is you just do rise/run which gives you 2,-1
Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.
To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.
Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.
-4+4 + 4a = 12+4
4a = 16
Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.
4/4a = 16/4
a = 4
Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.
-4 + 4(4) = 12
-4 + 16 = 12
12 = 12
Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)
Answer:
179, 180, 181
Step-by-step explanation:
a +a +1 +a +2 =540
3a +3 =540
3a =540 - 3
3a=537
a=537 :3
a=179 (the first number
b=179 +1 =180 (the second number
c=179 +2 =181 (the third number
