Answer:
x=-6 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
squared both sides
solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=-6 and x=-1
see the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
substitute the value of x in the original expression
For x=-6
----> is not true
so
Is an extraneous solution
For x=-1
----> is true
so
Is the solution
Ok this is a very question that can solved very easily. So we know that there three numbers, and they are consecutive, this means that they are all one bigger than the number before so for example 1,2, and 3 or 20, 21, and 22. These numbers are called consecutive. Now let's just pretend that the answer to this question is the variable "x". Now x is the smallest number in all the three numbers.
Using our knowledge of consecutive numbers we can say that the next to numbers will be one more than the number before so:
(x+1) and (x+2)
So we have our three numbers: x , x+1 , and x+2. Now let's set these numbers equal to 177.
177 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 → Combine like terms.
177 = 3x + 3 → Subtract 3 from both sides.
174 = 3x → Divide both sides by 3
58 = x
So that means that our first and smallest number is going to be 58 our second number will be +1 so 59 and our third number will be +2 so 60.
So the three numbers will be 58, 59, and 60.
Hope this helped.
Hello,
If multiplying by 1/4 makes a positive number smaller then dividing by 1/4 makes the number its being dividing to see how many times 1/4 can be put into that number. For Example,
2 / 1/4 = 8
1/4 can go into 2 eight times!
Hope This Helps!
1. true.
2. false.
3. false.
4. true.
these should be correct.
