Lawrence's is the correct answer. he put 3 plates on each box in both situations
Answer: (21,12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79
Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80
the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81
ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
The function would be h = 270 - 2.5s, where h is the height (in feet) and s it the time (in seconds) that has passed.
The 270 represents the initial value, which is given. We are told that the initial height of the block is 270 feet.
2.5s represents the feet that it has descended. We know the block is lowered at a rate of 2.5 feet per second. Multiplying this by s, the time, will give us how much it has descended.
