The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72 what is the smallest of the numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
mylen [45]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

23

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

How can you tell if a system of equations has infinite solutions?
kirill [66]
To tell if an equation has infinite solutions, the equation will be equal to each other.

For example,

x = x
x + 1 = x + 1
x - y = x - y

And so on...

And in special cases,

0x = 0
0x = 0(y + 1)

They have infinite solutions because there's no constant to determine the variable.

Two boats left a base camp at bearing of S60°E and S50°W at speeds of 50km/h and 70km/h respectively. Find the distance between
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

  • 197.93 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base camp is point A and boats' locations after two hours are points B and C.

By connecting the three points together we get a triangle ABC with sides:

  • AB = 50*2 = 100 km
  • AC = 70*2 = 140 km

The angle between AB and AC is:

  • 60 + 50 = 110 degrees (opposite directions from south)

We are looking for the distance BC, which can be found by using the law of cosines:

  • BC² = AB² + AC² - 2AB*AC*cos ∠BAC
  • BC² = 100² + 140² - 2*100*140*cos 110°
  • BC²  = 39176.56 (rounded)
  • BC = √39176.56 = 197.93 km (rounded)

The distance between the boats is 197.93 km.

What is the ratio a:b if 8a=3b?
Digiron [165]

The ratio a:b is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the ratio a:b means the fraction a/b.

So we will have to solve the given equation for a/b

Given

8a=3b

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8a}{8}=\frac{3b}{8}\\a=\frac{3b}{8}

Dividing both sides by b

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3b}{8*b}\\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{3}{8}

The ratio a:b is 3:8
