Answer:

11, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the first number

(x + 1) is the second number

(x + 2) is the third number

x + x+1 + x+2 = 36

3x + 3 = 36

3x = 36 - 3

3x = 33

x = 11  ← the first number

the second number  = x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12

the third number = x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13

\huge{\boxed{11}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{12}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{13}}

First, represent the numbers with variables. x is the first number. x+1 is the second number, since they are consecutive. x+2 is the third and final number.

Make a statement. x+x+1+x+2=36

Combine the variables. 3x+1+2=36

Combine the constants. 3x+3=36

Isolate the variable by subtracting 3 on each side. 3x=33

Finish isolating the variable by dividing both sides by 3. x=11

This means the first number is \boxed{11}. Since the three numbers are consecutive, the other two numbers are \boxed{12} and \boxed{13}.

We can then check out work by adding these three numbers together. If they equal 36, then the answer is correct. 11+12+13=36

Add 11 and 12. 23+13=36

Add 23 and 13. 36=36

This means our answer is correct.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

630.36\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the area of the sidewalk, multiply the length by the width of the sidewalk

The width of the sidewalk is equal to

113.4\ ft-110\ ft=3.4\ ft

or

75.4\ ft-72\ ft=3.4\ ft

The area is equal to

113.4(3.4)+72(3.4)\\385.56+244.8\\630.36\ ft^2
