A generic odd number can be written as
Since there is an odd number every two numbers, three consecutive odd numbers will be
Now let's make up the equations: the sum of the first two is
And 27 less than 3 times the largest is
These two must be the same, so we have
Subtracting 4k and 3 from both sides gives
Which means that the problem has no solution.
To confirm this hypothesis, we can observe that, on the left hand side, we have the sum of two odd numbers, which is even
On the right hand side, we have an odd number, multiplied by 3 (still odd), take away 27 (still odd).
So, the left hand side is even, and the right hand side is odd. They can't be the same number.
Answer:
135.5ft
Step-by-step explanation:
THIS COMPLETE THE QUESTION
flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is 14 feet longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole. Find the length of the wire.
Let X be the length of the wire
Let y be the height of the pole
X= Y + 14
Y= X -14
We can form a right angle triangle form this, where X denote the Hypotenose, Y is the Opposite, and 60feet is the Adjacent.(CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRIANGLE)
Using Pythagoras theorem
X²= 60² + Y²
X² = 3600 + Y²
if we subsitute for Y we have
X² = 3600 + (X -14)²
X² = 3600 +X² -14X-14X+196
X²-X²+ 28X= 3600+196
28X= 3796
X= 3796/28
=135.5ft
hence length of the wire is 135.5ft
