Answer:
D is The correct Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow one right after the other. One example is the set {6, 7, 8}. We don't know the three consecutive numbers so let's define...
x = first number
x+1 = second number
x+2 = third number
where x, x+1, and x+2 are consecutive numbers
-----------------------------------------
"The sum of three consecutive numbers is -15" meaning that
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = -15
Let's solve for x
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = -15
x+x+1+x+2 = -15
3x+3 = -15
3x+3-3 = -15-3
3x = -18
3x/3 = -18/3
x = -6
So this means
first number = x = -6
second number = x+1 = -6+1 = -5
third number = x+2 = 6+2 = -4
The list of consecutive values is {-6, -5, -4}
They add up to (-6) + (-5) + (-4) = -11+(-4) = -15
which confirms we have the right values
---------------------------------------------------------
In short, the final answer is -4
Answer:
It will cost $72 Justice to fence in his garden.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the fencing around the garden = 24 feet
Cost of fencing per inch = $0.25
Now, as we know 1 foot = 12 inches
⇒ 24 feet = 24 x 12 inch = 288 inches
⇒ 24 feet = 288 inches
Hence, the total length of fencing = 288 inches.
Now, Total cost of Fencing
=Total length of fencing x Cost of fencing par inch
= 288 inches x ($0.25)
= $ 72
or, the total cost of fencing = $72
Hence, it will cost $72 Justice to fence in his garden.
The constant proportionality is the proportionality of 59. Because it is the price, you just move the decimal point two places over to the left.
