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:
3. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula applies in 3 dimensions as well as 2.
d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² +(z2 -z1)²)
d = √((-2)² +6² +3²) = √(4 +36 +9) = √49
d = 7
The distance between the two points is 7 units.
To factor out completely, we should have reached the most simplified form,
first we should take out 2.
2(x2 - 3x - 18)
then we should factor out the inside of the parenthesis,
2(x - 6)(x + 3)
And that's the most simplified and factored out form.
The final answer is then the second option, <span>2(x − 6)(x + 3)</span>
Let's call the width: w
the lenght is then 3w+4 ("4 more than 3 times the width")
and the parameter would be 2(w+3w+4), that is 2*(4w+4), that is 8w+8.
this is also equal to 18.4:
8w+8=18.4
8w=10.4
w=1.3
this is the width, and the lenght is:
4+3*1,3=4+3.9=7.9
and the area is their product:
1.3*7.9=10.27
