Let x=the smallest integer, x+1=the second smallest, x+2=the greatest.
x+x+1+x+2=141
3x+3=141
3x=138
x=46
46 is the smallest integer

Our three consecutive integers can be represented as

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

If the sum of our three consecutive integers is 141, our equation will read...

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 141

Now, we can simplify on the left. Once we simplify, our equation will now read

3x + 3 = 141

      -3     -3  ← subtract 3 on both sides

      3x = 138 ← divide by 3 on both sides

       <u>X = 46</u> ← smallest integer

Therefore, the smallest integer is 46.

liraira [26]

Answer:

7 / 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sample space attached,

Required outcome = multiple of 5 from the sun of two rolled dice = 7

Total possible outcomes =(number of faces)² = 6² = 36

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sum which is a multiple of 5 is :

P(sum which is a multiple of 5) :

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 7 / 36

For the function f(x)=-3x+2, find f(2)=
dsp73

Answer: f(2) = -4

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function f(x) = -3x + 2 and we are asked to find f(2).

In other words, if we put an <em>x</em> into our function, we get a -3x + 2 out so what happens when we put a 2 into the function?

Well if we put a 2 into the function,

that's f(2) and we get -3(2) + 2 out.

Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.

-3(2) is -6 so we have -6 + 2 which is -4.

So f(2) is -4.
