Mathematics

Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is

One:   28, 29, 30

Two: 75,77

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1

(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 =  75                Remove the brackets

x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75                    Combine the like terms on the left

3x - 12 = 75                                       Add 12 to both sides

3x = 75 + 12

3x = 87                                              Divide by 3

x = 87/3

x = 29

Two

Let the first odd number = 2x -1

Let the second odd number = 2x + 1

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170           Combine like terms on the left.

4x + 18 = 170                             Subtract 18 from both sides.

4x = 170 - 18                             Combine like terms on the right

4x = 152                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 152/4

x = 38

2 * 38 - 1 = 75

2 * 38 + 1 = 77

Answer:

1850

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is asking you how many kids (predicted by the superintendent) will buy lunches for 1-2 days. Since you know the percentage predicted and the student amount, just multiply as a decimal (convert by putting the number over 100 as a fraction.)

5000*0.37=1850

In parallelogram ABCD , BE=7x−2 and ED=x2−10 .
Stells [14]

I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.

  • 7x-2=x²-10
  • x²-7x-8=0
  • (x-8)(x+1)=0
  • x = -1, 8

As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.

Thus, BE=ED=54.

If you would like to solve 1/3 / 6, you can do this using the following steps:

1/3 / 6 = 1/3 / 6/1 = 1/3 * 1/6 = 1/18

The correct result would be 1/18.
