Answer: Let's say the first number is x, the next one is x+1, and so on

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = -51

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -51

3x + 3 = -51

3x = -54

x = -18

A triangle has sides with lengths of 3 feet, 6 feet, and 8 feet is it a right triangle?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$Solution,\\Longest~side(h) = 8ft.\\Perpendicular(p) = 3ft.\\Base(b) = 6ft.\\Now, \\h^2 = (8)^2 = 64sq.ft.\\p^2+b^2 = 3^2+6^2 = 9+36 = 45sq.ft.\\Since, h^2\neq p^2+b^2, ~the~triangle~is~not~a~right~triangle.$

2x + y = −3 −2y = 6 + 4x Write each equation in slope-intercept form.

Zanzabum

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

so solve for y

2x+y=-3

minus 2x both sides

y=-2x-3

-2y=6+4x

divide both sides by -2

y=-3-2x

y=-2x-3
