Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest is 6
Three consecutive integers
X. Smallest 6
X+1. 7
X+2. Largest 8
X(X+1)= 4(X+2)+10
X^2+X= 4x+8+10
X^2+X-4x-18=0
X^2-3x-18=0
( X+3)(X-6)
X=-3. X=6
Don't use the negative
Check 6(7)= 4(8)+10
42=42

Answer:
Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be 
and 
the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as 
the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.
The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:
Carrie's amount of money:
(Eq. 1)
Joan's amount of money:
(Eq. 2)
Relation between amounts of coins:
(Eq. 3)
First we eliminate by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):
Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):
And rest of variable are now determined:
Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.
17 + 2 = 19 km is 1/2 of the total length, that is,
19 = (1/2)h
(1/2)h = 19 multiply both sides by 2
h = 2*19
h = 38 km
The total length in kilometers is 38 km
