Find three consecutive numbers whose sum equals999.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
mina [271]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

332, 333, 334

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we acknowledge that the equation that we need to solve will be "x+(x+1)+(x+2)=999" This is because x represents the smallest of three consecutive numbers whose sum is 999. Simplifying this equation will leave us with 3x+3=999 which is simplified further to 3x=996 and again simplified to x=332. X is the smallest number of the three.

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?
harina [27]
To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.

The elevator at the state capital has a maximum weight capacity of 2000 pounds. If there are 3
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum capacity of the elevator = 2000 pounds

Combined weight of the elevator = 428 pounds

A). Let the possible weights that can be added to the elevator = w pounds

B). Therefore, inequality representing this situation will be,

    428 + w < 2000

C). By solving the given inequality,

    (428 + w) - 428 < 2000 - 428

    w < 1572 pounds

    Now we draw this inequality on a number line.

Answer:

x2 =  -0.600000

x3 = -0.521600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula;

xn+1 = (xn)³-5/10

x2 = (x1)³-5/10

Given x1 = -1

x2 = (-1)³-5/10

x2 = (-1-5)/10

x2 = -6/10

x2 = -0.600000

x3 = (x3)³-5/10

Given x3 = -0.6

x3 = (-0.6)³-5/10

x3 = (-0.216-5)/10

x3 = -5.216/10

x3 = -0.521600

working together, paul and dan can pick forty bushels of apples in 4.95 hours. Had he done it alone it would have taken dan 9 ho
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Daniel does 1/9 of the job in one hour

let x = Paul's rate

Paul does 1/x of the job in one hour

They both do the job in 4.95hrs

(1/9)(4.95) + (1/x)(4.95) = job completion

multiply both sides by 9x

(9x)(1/9)(4.95) + (9x)(1/x)(4.95) = 9x(1)

4.95x + 9*4.95 = 9x

4.95x + 44.55 = 9x

9x - 4.95x = 44.55

4.05x = 44.55

x = 44.55/4.05

x = 11 hours i.e time it takes for Paul to pick the 40 bushels alone
