Answer:
-58, -57, -56
Step-by-step explanation:
if the first integer is x,
the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)
and the third must be x + 2
Therefore:
3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:
3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342
Combine like terms in parentheses
3 * (2x + 2) = -342
Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:
6x + 6 = -342
Subtract 6 on both sides
6x = -348
Divide by 6 on both sides
x = -58
x + 1 = -57
x + 2 = -56
-58, -57, -56
Check:
3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342
Answer:
one cocoa pod makes 5/6 bar
to make 35 bars, he needs
35 / (5/6) = 35 * 6/5 = 42 pods
Monday - Friday is 5 days
42/5 = 8.4
Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean, add the numbers together and divide the sum by the total amount of numbers.
Answer: The equations are
6x - 6y = 9
4x + 4y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the row boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
Dana can travel 9 miles in her rowboat in 6 hours against the current. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is
(x - y) miles per hour.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled against the current is expressed as
9 = 6(x - y)
6x - 6y = 9
With the current, it takes 4 hours to row the same distance. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is
(x + y) miles per hour.
Distance travelled with the current is expressed as
9 = 4(x + y)
4x + 4y = 9
