Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

3X + 3 - 3 = 42 - 3

3X = 39

3X/3 = 39/3

X = 13

Which means that the first number is 13, the second number is 13 + 1 and the third number is 13 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 42 are 13, 14, and 15.

13 + 14 + 15 = 42

We know our answer is correct because 13 + 14 + 15 equals 42 as displayed above.

The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking.assume
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:  d=18t

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Direct proportion equations have the following form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality.

In this case you know that the distance (in meters) that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (in hours) the ant spends walking.

With this information you can write the following equation:

d=kt

According to the exercise, the constant of proportionality is:

k=18

Therefore, substituting the value of the constant of proportionality into the equation, you get that  the equation that represents the proportional relationship between "d" and "t" is:

d=18t

Help 15 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{7}{8} , then

∠ A = tan^{-1} (\frac{7}{8} ) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )

The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then

∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°

∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )

∠ B = 49°

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )

AB = \sqrt{113} ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

If mZDEC = (12x - 3), mZBCE =
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 3 = 180 - (7x - 26) supplementary angles

19x = 209

   x = 11

m∠DEC = 12(11) - 3 = 129°

m∠BCE = 7(11) - 26 = 51°

M∠ADE = 129 - 72 = 57°  exterior angle rule

m∠EDB = 180 - 57 = 123° supplementary angles

m∠DBC = 57° corresponding angle to ADE
