Answer:

The middle integer is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let <em>x</em> be the smallest of the three consecutive integers.

Let <em>x</em>+1 and <em>x</em>+2 be the next consecutive integers. This makes <em>x</em>+1 the middle integer.

We're given that the third integer subtracted from the sum of the first two integers equals 9. We can use this to construct an equation:

(x)+(x+1)-(x+2)=9

Combine like terms:

x+x+1-x-2=9\\x+x-x+1-2=9\\x-1=9\\x=10

Therefore, the smallest integer is 10.

Because the middle integer is <em>x</em>+1, the middle integer is 11.

I hope this helps!

Okay so every triangle will have 3 angles that add to 180 degrees. You are given that A=65 which means that B + C will have to add to 115. You are given that B= (3x-10) and C=2x, plug this into B+C=115. So
3x-10+2x=115, isolate x, 5x=125, divide both sides by 5 and you get that x=25. This makes B=65, and C=50. Just to check, if you add these together you get 180 degrees.

Molly, a purchasing agent for a high-tech firm, is ordering computers for a new branch office. Laptops cost $540 apiece and desk
NISA [10]

Answer:

540x+680y<=20000

Step-by-step explanation:

x will be the number of laptops. Since they are $540 each, 540x is the amount spent on laptops, depending on how many (x) are purchased.

y will be the number if desktops. Since they are $680 each, 680y is the amount spent on desktops, depending on how many (y) are purchased.

Adding all the money spent on laptops and desktops, we get

540x + 680y. This amount must be less than the $20000. It can be exactly $20000 also. But it cannot be more than $20000.

540x+680y<=20000

Divide (18x^3 + 12x – 3x) ÷ 6x^2
andre [41]
First let's simplify it

\frac{18x^3 + 9x}{6x^2}

Now let's factor it
\frac{9x(2x^2 + 1)}{6x^2}

Lastly, let's simplify
\frac{3(2x^2 + 1)}{2x}
