Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The easy way to set this up is to make the smallest number x - 1. You will see why in a moment. It cuts down on one step)

Equation

(x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 96                Remove the brackets

Solution

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 96                   Combine like terms

3x = 96                                       Divide by 3

x = 32

Note: that is not the smallest number. Remember, the smallest number is x - 1

So the smallest number is 31

What is value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
marin [14]

Answer:

x \ = \ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point D be the point where the straight line drawn from point A meets the straight line BC, it is evident that \triangle ABD and \triangle ACD is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, \angle BAD \ = \ \angle DAC. Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,

                                              \displaystyle{\frac{x+4}{8} \ = \ \frac{2x+1}{12}}.

Performing cross multiplication yields

                                           12\left(x+4\right) \ = \ 8\left(2x+1\right) \\ \\ \rule{0.15cm}{0cm}12x+48 \ = \ 16x+8 \\ \\ \rule{1.1cm}{0cm} 4x \ = \ 40 \\ \\ \rule{1.3cm}{0cm} x \ = \ 10.

Answer:

The answer is 12.64 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure it is clear that slope is the hypotenuse which we have to find while the other two sides are legs of the triangle whose lengths are known.

so the pitch of the roof is 12.64 ft.  i explained in the figure below as well.
