Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

If m1=2x° and m3=3x° what is m1
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the angle addition postulate

angle 1+angle 2+angle 3=180

Angle 2 is 90 degrees,

Angle 1 is 2x degrees

Angle 3 is 3x degrees

Plug this into equation

2x + 90 +  3x = 180

5x + 90 = 180

5x = 90

x = 18

Plug 18 into 2x

2(18) = 36

X=36. You just make the equation: X+9=45. Then you subtract 9 from 45 like this:                                                    -9   -9. That gives you 36

The number 2400 is first increased by 30%.The value obtained is next decreased by 20%.Find the final number
kvasek [131]

<em>2400 is increased by 30%.</em>

so,

2400 + (30/100 * 2400)

2400 + (30 * 24)

2400 + 720

3120

<em>this number is decreased by 20%.</em>

so,

3120 - (20/100 * 3120)

3120 - (2 * 312)

3120 - 624

2496

therefore, the final number will be 2496.
