Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be n,

then the three numbers are n, n+1 and n+2

Therefore, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=120

Collecting like terms,

n+n+n=120-1-2

3n=117

n=117/3

n=39

Therefore the numbers are 39,40 and 41.

And the smallest number is 39.

Find the negation of the proposition

murzikaleks [220]

In accordance with propositional logic, quantifier theory and definitions of simple and composite propositions, the negation of a implication has the following equivalence:

$\neg (\exists \,x\, (P(x) \implies Q(x))) \iff \forall \,x (\neg \,Q(x) \,\land \,P(x))$ (Correct choice: iii)

<h3>How to find the equivalent form of a proposition</h3>

Herein we have a composite proposition, that is, the union of monary and binary operators and simple propositions. According to propositional logic and quantifier theory, the negation of an implication is equivalent to:

$\neg (\exists \,x\, (P(x) \implies Q(x))) \iff \forall \,x (\neg \,Q(x) \,\land \,P(x))$

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$77.44

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shoes cost $88 but you get a 20% discount, subtract 20% from 88: -->

$88-20% = $70.4

Then add 8% of 88 to 70.4 -->

8% of $88 = $7.04.

$70.4 + $7.04 = $77.44

Therefore the final price of the shoes are $77.44
