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

we know that having similar triangles so the ratio of sides,area and volume are same.

$s/s=s^2/s^2$

we know that $s^2$ will be the area of triangle.

$s^2/s^2=75/12$

so $s/s=\sqrt{75/12}$

so the ratio of the perimeter of two triangles will be

$(s+s+s)/(s+s+s)=(\sqrt{75} +\sqrt{75} +\sqrt{75} )/(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{12} +\sqrt{12} )$

ratio of the perimeter= $\sqrt{225} /\sqrt{36}$

Answer:

x = -5, y = -6, z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-2y+3z=-2\\6x+2y+2z=-48\\x+4y+3z=-38\end{array}\right.$

Write the augmented matrix for the system of equations

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)$

Find the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\0&-14&16&|&36\\0&-6&0&|&36\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&3&-2&|&-2\\0&16&-14&|&36\\0&0&-6&|&36\end{array}\right)$
