Answer:

7,9,11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number is x, second number is (x+2) and third number is (x+4).

ATQ,

The product of the smaller two integers is 3 less than 6 times the largest integer.

x(x+2) = 6(x+4)-3

x² + 2x = 6x+24-3

x² + 2x = 6x+21

x² + 2x -6x -21=0

x²-4x -21=0

It is a quadratic equation whose solution is :

x = -3 and x = 7

First number = 7

Second number = 9

Third number = 11

Hence, this is the required ssolution.

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

=========================================================

Explanation:

The formula we use is

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

In this case,

  • P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
  • P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
  • P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes

So,

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

which is why choice C is the answer

----------------

Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

1. Determine the measure of the unknown angles indicated by letters. Justify your answers with
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In an isocele triangle, base's angles have the measure:

42+2a=180

2a=180-42

a=69(°)

b)

in a triangle, an external angle has for measure the sum of the angles not adjacents.

55+b=132

b=77 (°)

c)

in a quadrilater the sum of the (interior) angles is 2*180=360 degrees.

90+90+68+c=360

c=360-90-90-68

c=112 (°)
