Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

the first number = x

the second number = x+1

the third number = x+1+1 = x+2

Question wise,

x+x+1+x+2 = 72

3x+3 = 72

3x = 72-3 = 69

x = 69/3 = 23

so the numbers are,

23,(23+1)=24 and (23+2)=25

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, -2)and (24, -17) ? Write your answer in simplest form.

Simora [160]

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}}$

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate and (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate

Slope of the line

$=\frac{ - 2 - ( - 17)}{4 - 24} \\ = \frac{ - 2 + 17}{ - 20} \\ = \frac{15}{ - 20} \\ = - \frac{3}{4}$

A running trail 6 1/2 miles long. Leigh plans on running this trail over the course of 4 days. How much of the trail will she ha

Aliun [14]

Answer:

$1 \frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out this problem we need to divide 6 1/2 by 4.

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions. Then your initial equation becomes:

$\frac{13}{2} \div \frac{4}{1}$

Applying the fractions formula for division:

$= \frac{13 \times 1}{2 \times 4}$

$= \frac{13}{8}$

Simplifying 13/8, the answer is:

$= 1 \frac{5}{8}$
