The sum of three consecutive integers is - 126. What are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the three consecutive integers be x , x+1 ,x+2
Given, sum of three consecutive integers = -126
x +x+1+ x+2 = -126
3x +3 = -126
3x = -126 -3
3x = -129
x = -129/3
x = - 43
x +1 = -42
x +2 = -41

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Part 1) The length of the new rectangle is $87.5\ ft$

Part 2) The area of the new rectangle is $4,375\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two rectangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

step 1

Find the length of the new rectangle

Let

L-----> the length of the new rectangle

$\frac{50}{20}=\frac{L}{35}\\ \\ L=50*35/20\\ \\L=87.5\ ft$

step 2

Find the area of the new rectangle

we know that

The area of the rectangle is

$A=LW$

we have

$L=87.5\ ft$

$W=50\ ft$

substitute

$A=(87.5)(50)=4,375\ ft^{2}$

It has been estimated that the population of Indianapolis is growing at a rate of 0.9% per year. Assuming that population growth

Mumz [18]

Answer:

2,136,605

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate growth, we use the formula shown below:

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where

F is the future amount (we want to find for Jan 2024)

P is the present amount (present population of 1,988,817)

r is the rate of growth (0.9% means 0.009)

t is the time in years (from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 is 8 years, t = 8)

Let's put these into the formula and figure out F:

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=1,988,817(1+0.009)^8\\F=2,136,604.5$

Rounding we get the population in Jan 2024 to be 2,136,605
