Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
it's another one of those similar triangles
it's easier to see this one.
t /c = u / b
where
t = 7x + 3
c = 27
u = 35
b = 21
plug in the knowns
7x + 3 / 27 = 35 / 21
7x + 3 = 27 ( 35 / 21 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 35 / 7 ) ( divided by 3 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 5) ( 7 into 35 =5 )
7x + 3 = 45
7x = 45 - 3
7x = 42
x = 6
I checked it, the ratio is 1_2/3 :) for both, but you can check it too
BAF and FAD is the answer
Answer:
7y + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the negative sign to the left of the parentheses as being -1. Then apply the distributive property. The effect of a negative sign to the left of parentheses or a 1 to the left of parentheses is that each term inside the parentheses changes sign.
-(-7y - 24) = -1(-7y - 24) = (-1)(-7y) - (-1)(24) = 7y - (-24) = 7y + 24
Let the integers be x - 1, x and x + 1, then
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = -42
3x = -42
x = -42/3 = -14
The three consectutive integers are -15, -14 and -13
