Answer:

Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)

Step-by-step explanation:

Five times the smallest means 5x

Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x

This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244

Solve this equation

x+2+5x=-244

6x+2=-244

6x=-244-2

6x=-246

x=-41

So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39

You're answer is -39+5(-41)=244

65 is what percent of 120?<br> (round to the nearest percent)

WITCHER [35]

Answer:Lets say 60 is rounded to 60. So 60 is half of 120 , which means that the answer is a little bit more than 50% since 50x2=100%

So 50 plus the 5 we took away from the 60 in the beginning is 55%

I think your answer is 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is 55%

Use the given functions to find f (g(x)), and give the restrictions on x.

torisob [31]

Answer:

$f(g(x)) = \frac{10x-9}{3 + 3x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = \frac{1}{x} - 3$

$g(x) = \frac{3}{x} + 3$

Required

Find f(g(x))

If: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x} - 3$

Then:

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3/x + 3} -3$

Solve the denominator (take LCM)

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{\frac{3+3x}{x}} -3$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{x}{3 + 3x} - 3$

It can be solved further as:

$f(g(x)) = \frac{x-3(3 + 3x)}{3 + 3x}$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{x-9 + 9x}{3 + 3x}$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{10x-9}{3 + 3x}$
