Answer:

-83, -82, and -81

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Declare your variable

Let x represent the largest of the 3 consecutive integer

Integer 1: x

Integer 2: x + 1

Integer 3: x + 2

Step 2: Create an equation

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = -246

Step 3: Solve

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -246

3x + 3 = -246

3x = -249

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-249}{3}

x = -83

FInd the other 2 numbers

Integer 1: -83

Integer 2: -82

Integer 3: -81

Step 4: Therefore Statement

Therefore the 3 consecutive numbers are -83, -82, and -81

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put the write the scenario in an equation, it'll look like

(5q+3)(5q-3) for the new width times the new length

Factor these, and you shall get 25q^2+15q-15q-9. Simplify that into

25q^2-9

Shikha has quiz scores of 27, 25, 24, 26 and 25 this term. If she gets a score of 25 and 28, which part of the data( mean, media
forsale [732]

Answer:

mean and range

arrangement before: 24,25,25,26,27

arrangement after: 24,25,25,25,26,27,28

mean before: (27+25+24+26+25)/5 = 25.4

mean after: (27+25+24+26+25+25+28))/5 = 25.7

median before: 25

median after: 25

mode before: 25

mode after: 25

range before: 24 to 27

range after: 24 to 28

hence, the mean and range were affected while the median and mode remained unchanged.

I need help learning how to solve this problem please.
Radda [10]

we have 4 gals, Stephanie, Andrea, Emily and  Becca.

btw the end point should be (-6, -7) and the start point is (8, 6).

so, if we know the distance between those two points, we can just cut it in 4 equal pieces and each gal will be driving a piece.

now, Emily's turn is after Andrea, BUT, we had first Stephenie driving ¼ of the way, then Andrea driving ¼ of the way too, but after ¼+¼, Emily comes on, but ¼+¼ is really 1/2, so when Emily starts, is really half-way through, or the midpoint of that distance.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{Hometown}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})}\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\qquad
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+8}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7+6}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-1}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{Emily starts off}}{\left(1~,-\frac{1}{2} \right)}


Emily's turn ends ¼ of the way later, which will be pretty much half-way in between  (1, -½) and (-6, -7), so is really the midpoint of those two.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-\frac{1}{2}})\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7-\frac{1}{2}}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-14-1}{2}~}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-15}{2}~}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{-15}{4} \right)\implies \left( -2\frac{1}{2}~,~-3\frac{3}{4} \right)
