What 3 consecutive integers equal 84

Mathematics

First represent your 3 consecutive integers as follows.

X ⇒ <em>first integer</em>

X + 1 ⇒ <em>second integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>third integer</em>

<em />

Since their sum is 84, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 84.

Simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 84.

Now subtract 3 from both sides to get 3x = 81.

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that <em>x = 27</em>.

Finally, make sure you list all your answers.

If <em>x </em>is 27 then <em>x </em>+ 1 is 28 and <em>x </em>+ 2 is 29.

Answer:

27 + 28 + 29 = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be x +1, x+2 and x+3

Thus,

(x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 84

Remove the brackets

x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 84

Group the like terms

x + x + x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 84

3x + 6 = 84

To make 3x subject of formula, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation thus,

3x + 6 - 6 = 84 - 6

3x = 78

Divide through by 3

\frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{78}{3}

x = 26

Since x = 26

x + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27

x + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28

x + 3 = 26 + 3 = 29

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 27, 28 and 29

Check

27 + 28 + 29 = 84

Write an equation where the left side is your power of 10 times n and the right side is the result of multiplying 0.1515... by t
Neko [114]

Answer:

n10^x = 0.1515x

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Translate the statements to algebraic expression

Represent the power with x;

So, the left hand side is

<em>Power of 10: </em>10^x<em />

<em>Times n: </em>10^x * n<em />

<em />

The right hand side is:

<em>0.1515 * power of 10: </em>0.1515 * x<em />

Equate the right hand side to the left:

10^x * n = 0.1515 * x

n10^x = 0.1515x

Hence;

<em>The required expression is </em>n10^x = 0.1515x<em />

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!
iragen [17]

Answer:

When you fill in the blanks you get ($0.25*x)+(0.1*y)+(0.05*z). When you evaluate it you get $1.35, which is the total amount of change in her pocket.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the numbers that are given in the equation are values of the coins (ex: a quarter is worth $0.25) and the variables are the different coins. Multiply the quantity of each coin (that's the variable) by its value then add them together. Finally, plug in the numbers it gives you for x, y, and z.

Write an equation of the line passing through the given point and satisfying the given condition. Give the equation (a) in slope
Mariana [72]

Answer:

(a) y=8x-46

(b) 8x-y=46

Step-by-step explanation:

-y=-8x+4

y=8x+4

We know that 8 is the slope, and if we need a equation parallel to this line, then it will have the same slope.

Substitute (6,2)

2=8(6)+b

2=48+b

b=-46

The final answer is y=8x-46

A heavy rope, 30 ft long, weighs 0.4 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 80 ft high. Approximate the required work by a
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

180 fb*lb

45 ft*lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the work is equal to:

W = F * d

but when the force is constant and in this case, it is changing.

 therefore it would be:

W = \int\limits^b_ a {F(x)} \, dx

Where a = 0 and b = 30.

F (x) = 0.4 * x

Therefore, we replace and we would be left with:

W = \int\limits^b_a {0.4*x} \, dx

We integrate and we have:

W = 0.4 / 2 * x ^ 2

W = 0.2 * (x ^ 2) from 0 to 30, we replace:

W = 0.2 * (30 ^ 2) - 0.2 * (0 ^ 2)

W = 180 ft * lb

Now in the second part it is the same, but the integral would be from 0 to 15.

we replace:

W = 0.2 * (15 ^ 2) - 0.2 * (0 ^ 2)

W = 45 ft * lb
