The sum of three consecutive integers is three times the middle one: if we call the middle one
, the three numbers are

So, their sum is 
Which is three times the middle one.
So, if the sum of three consecutive intergers is 48, the middle one must be 48/3 = 16.
So, the three numbers are 15, 16 and 17
Answer:
a) cluster sampling
Step-by-step explanation:
In cluster sampling method, each member of a population is assigned to one and only one group.This means clusters are formed through probability method usually a simple random sampling.The participants in the clusters are the only one to be surveyed.
In this example, simple random sampling is used to identify 12 home rooms(cluster) where a group of 20 students (participants) in each room is given the survey.
Step-by-step explanation:
area of square = l^2
so 10^2
100cm^2
Answer:
2x-12
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the -2 to the x and +3
this will make you expression be:
4x-6-2x-6
you then do -6+-6
this will make your expression be:
4x-12-2x
After you get this you have to combine like terms. the like terms in the expression are the two with x being you variable. 4x and -2x.
Once you have combined like terms your solution should be:
2x-12
