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.

A is the answer. Since they will both be divided by 4 due to the same amount of points, because Globrite has a greater range, it will have a greater mean. Glo brite also ranges bigger than Luminate

3x-4y=11 <br>3x+2y=2<br>please help, I need to find what the answer is for x and y

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

I have attached a picture of me solving the equation.

Now you must be wondering how I got the answer, well first simplify the expression in y = mx + b. Then graph it on demos. Do the same thing for the other expression. Pick any point that lies on the line. That is your solution to the equation.

The green line is the expression of 3x - 4y = 11. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = 3/4x - 11/4.

The orange line is the expression of 3x + 2y = 2. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = -3/2x + 1.

Hope this helps, thank you !!

A line through which two points would be parallel to a line with a slope of 3/4?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

F. (0, 5) and (-4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the slope of each of the given sets of points until we find the set associated with a slope of 3/4:

F. (0,5) and (-4,2) As we go from (-4, 2) to (0,5), x increases by 4 and y increases by 3, so the slope is m = rise / run = 3/4. This is the line with slope 3/4.
