Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Three consecutive numbers means three numbers in a row, so if n is the first number, the second number is one more than n (which is n+1) and the third number is one more than that (which is n+2)
So three times (3 x) the first number (n) is equal to (=) nine more than (9 +) the sum of the other two ( (n+1) + (n+2) )
3 times n can be written as 3n
So 3n = 9 + (n+1) + (n+2)
3n = 9 + n + 1 + n + 2
3n = 9 + 1 + 2 + n + n
3n = 12 + 2n
Subtract 2n from each side
3n - 2n = 12 + 2n - 2n
1n = 12
n = 12
So the first number is 12, the second number is 12 + 1 (13) and the third number is 12 + 2 (14)
The numbers are 12, 13, 14
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = -2, 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x - 3| = 7
2x - 3 = 7
2x = 10
x = 5 or:
2x - 3 = -7
2x = -4
x = -2.
Yes it will, they are the same value just in diff locations
The second answer that uses = is not correct, because the pentagons are similar not congruent.
The third answer is not correct, because that sign means estimated, not similar.
I've never seen the fourth sign, so by process of elimination I believe the answer is the first one.
