3x - 15 = 39
+ 15 +15
3x = 54 (divide by 3 on each side)
X = 18
Answer:
179, 180, 181
Step-by-step explanation:
a +a +1 +a +2 =540
3a +3 =540
3a =540 - 3
3a=537
a=537 :3
a=179 (the first number
b=179 +1 =180 (the second number
c=179 +2 =181 (the third number
If x is the hypotenuse then
hyp^2 = 4^2 + 5^2
hyp^2 = 41
hypotenuse =
<span>
<span>
<span>
6.403124
</span></span></span>
if x is a leg then
leg^2 = 5^2 - 4^2
leg^2 = 25 - 16
leg^2 = 9
leg =3
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
