Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the largest of 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and third is equal to three times the second?

3 consecutive angles

= x, x + 1, x + 2

We are told in the question that:

the sum of the first and third is equal to three times the second

a + c = 3b

x + x + 2 = 3(x + 1)

2x + 2 = 3x + 3

3x - 2x = 2 - 3

x = -1

The largest of the three numbers is the third number

= x + 2

x = -1

x + 2 = -1 + 2

The third and largest number is 1

The compound inequality 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50 represents all values, x, for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assis

Orlov [11]

Answer: x≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given expression 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50

Where x is the value for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assistants.

so, x is greater than or equal to 8.00

Therefore, $x\geq 8.00$

And, x is less than 9.50

Therefore, x < 9.50

On combining both expression we get, $x\geq 8.00$ and $x < 9.50$ .

Thus, Third Option is correct.

Amanda is having new tile installed in her kitchen. TileAll charges a flat fee of $378.00 plus $15.00 per tile. Kitchen Plus cha

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$C = 495 + 13.05x$

60 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

$15.00 per tile plus a flat fee of $378.00 that charges Tile All.

Therefore, for x number of tiles, the total cost of installation will be

C = 378 + 15x ........... (1)

Again, $14.50 per tiles plus a flat fee of $550.00 that charges Kitchen Plus. Amanda has at Kitchen Plus, a 10% discount coupon.

Therefore, for x tiles installation the charges will be

$C = (550 + 14.5x)(1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 495 + 13.05x$ .......... (2) (Answer)

Now, if for x number of tiles both the company charges the same, then

378 + 15x = 495 + 13.05x (From equations (1) and (2)}

⇒ 1.95x = 117

⇒ x = 60 tiles. (Answer)

Calcule o valor numérico da expressão a seguir -2/3+1-3/2.8/9

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The calculated value is "0.214"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression :

$\bold {\frac{-2}{3}+ 1 -\frac{3}{\frac{2.8}{9}} }\\$

solution:

$\Rightarrow \frac{-2}{3}+ 1 -\frac{3}{\frac{2.8}{9}}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{-2}{3}+ 1 -\frac{3}{\frac{2.8}{\frac{9}{1}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{-2}{3}+ 1 -\frac{3}{2.8} \times \frac{1}{9}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{-2}{3}+ 1 -\frac{1}{8.4}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{-16.8 + 25.2- 3}{25.2}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{5.4}{25.2}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.214$
