Let the smallest number = x

The next higher number would be x +1

The 3rd number would be x +2


The sum of the 3 numbers: x + x+1 + x+2

33 more than the smallest number is written as x+33


Now you have:

x + x+1 + x+2 = x+33

Simplify the left side:

3x +3 = x +33

Subtract 3 from each side:

3x = x +30

Subtract 1x from each side:

2x = 30

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 30/2

x = 15


The three numbers are 15, 16 and 17

B is the midpoint of segment AC; AB = 8v, and AC = 2v + 42. What is BC?
Alona [7]
2 * AB = AC  
2 * 8v = 2v + 42
16v - 2v = 42
14v = 42
v = 42/14
v = 3

BC = AB = 8v = 8*3 = 24

A sample of bacteria is decaying according to a half-life model. If the sample begins with 700 bacteria, and after 10 minutes th
Papessa [141]

Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

and T is the half life.

A = 140 when t = 10.  Solve for the half life:

140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)

0.2 = ½^(10 / T)

log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5

10 / T = 2.32

T = 4.31

When A = 40, t is:

40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)

0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)

log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5

t / 4.31 = 4.13

t = 17.8

Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.
