24 is what i believe the answer is
45 = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2)
45 = 3x + 3
- 3
42 = 3x
/3
14 = x
45 = 14 + (14 + 1) + (14 + 2)
45 = 14 + 15 + 16
The ages of the 3 friends are 14, 15, and 16.
Answer:
3000 is your right answer
One scale factor equation is y=cx
y is the new factor (in this case, 60 or 75)
c is the scale factor (in this case, unknown)
x is the old factor (in this case, 24 or 30)
so: plug in the values
60=c(24) divide both sides by 24
c=2.5
you can check again with the other numbers
75=c(30) divide both sides by 30.
c= 2.5
your scale factor is 2.5
<span>(4 · 2^5) ÷ (2^3 · 1/16 )
</span>= (2^2 · 2^5) ÷ (2^3 · 2^-4 )
= (2^7) ÷ (2^-1)
= 2^8
