\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {GIVEN:}}}

Sum of three consecutive odd integers = 27

\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:FIND:}}}

The values of the three integers.

\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}

\sf\purple{The\:three\:consecutive \:odd\:integers\:are\:7,\:9\:and\:11.}

\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {STEP-BY-STEP\:\:EXPLANATION:}}}

Let us assume the three consecutive odd integers to be x, (x+2) and (x+4).

As per the condition, we have

Sum \:  \:  of \:  \:  the  \:  \: three \:  \:  consecutive \:  \:  odd \:  \:  integers  = 27

➺ \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27

➺ \: x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 27

Now, collect the like terms.

➺ \: (x + x + x) + (2 + 4) = 27

➺ \: 3x + 6 = 27

➺ \: 3x = 27 - 6

➺ \: 3x = 21

➺ \: x =  \frac{21}{3} \\

➺ \: x = 7

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 27 are \boxed{  7  }, \boxed{ 9   } and \boxed{ 11   } respectively.

\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}

⇢ 7 + 9 + 11 = 27

⇢ 27 = 27

⇢ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

\sf\blue{Hence\:verified.}

Finley and Cooper are wanting to go to SkyZone. Finley pays $53.75 for 5 hours. How much will Cooper pay for 3 hours?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<em>10.75 x 3 = $32.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to figure out how much the cost is for one hour:

53.75/5 = 10.75

therefore, the cost at skyzone for 1 hour is $10.75 , BUT, we still need to figure out the time for 3 hours.

so, 10.75 x 3 = $32.25

BRAINLIESTT ASAP! PLEASE HELP ME :)
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

20  

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = 3x² – 2

g(x) = 4x + 2

1. Add the functions

By definition,  

(ƒ + g)(x) = ƒ(x) + g(x)

3x²          - 2

<u>       + 4x + 2 </u>

3x² + 4x

(ƒ + g)(x) = 3x² + 4x

2. Evaluate (ƒ + g)(2)

(ƒ + g)(2) = 3(2)² + 4(2) = 3(4) + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20
