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

Graph the linear inequality: 2x + 3y = 12, by creating a t-chart to plot the points. Shade by
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the given inequality is 2x+3y\le12

Then the corresponding linear equation is 2x+3y=12

When x=0, we have  2*0+3y=12

\implies 3y=12\implies y=4

When y=0, we have  2x+3*0=12

\implies 2x=12\implies x=6

The T-table is:

<u>x   |   y</u>

0   |   4

6   |   12

We plot this points and draw a solid straight line as shown in the attachment.

Now let us test the origin: (0,0) by plugging x=0 and y=0 into the inequality.

2*0+3*0\le12

0\le12....This is true so we shade the lower half plane as shown in the attachment.

A park is 4.6 miles long and 2.7 miles wide. A:what is the total distance around the park? B:if a racecar drove 50 times around
Vlada [557]

Answer:

A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of park = 4.6 miles

The width of park = 2.7 miles

Let the total distance cover around park = Perimeter of park = P miles

So, Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 × Length + 2 × width

or, P = 2 × 4.6 + 2 × 2.7

I.e P = 9.2 + 5.4

Or, perimeter = 14.6 miles

A ) ∴ Total distance around the park = 14.6 miles

B ) The total distance drove by racer = 50 times around the park

  So, The total distance drove by car = 50 × Total distance around the park

∴The total distance drove by car = 50 × 14.6 = 730 miles

Hence A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

          B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles   answer
