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

What is the factored form of the polynomial z² − 10z + 25?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

( z - 5 ) ( z - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

z² − 10z + 25

= z² − 5z - 5z + 25

= z ( z - 5 ) - 5 ( z - 5 )

= ( z - 5 ) ( z - 5 )

Which is an equation of the line with slope –3 and passes through (2, –1)
Savatey [412]

using the formula:

y = mx +b

Using the given slope and coordinate points we get:

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

add 6 to each side

5 = b

y = -3x + 5

which is the same as:

3x + y = 5 ...answer choice a
