Can someone help me with this question?

Mathematics

Answer:

  a. [L], [M]

  b. 41, 42, 43

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a.</h3>

If x represents the smallest number, then the second number is (x+1) and the third number is (x+2). The sum is of the first number (x), 3 times the second number, 3(x+1), and 2 times the third number, 2(x+2). That sum can be written as ...

  Total = x +3(x +1) +2(x +2) . . . . matches [L]

If we use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses, we get ...

  Total = x +3x +3 +2x +4 . . . . . matches [M]

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Using the equation of [M], we have ...

  253 = x +3x +3 +2x +4

  246 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 7 from both sides

  41 = x . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 6

The three consecutive numbers are 41, 42, 43.

Harold wrote this equation to model the level of water in a pool over time. The variable x represents time in hours. f(x) = 3,50
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool was 3,500 units

The water was 2,600 units high after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function that models the water level is

f(x)=3,500-225x

where x represents time in hours.

The function represents a straight line that has slope m=-225

Since the slope is negative, it means the water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool can found when we put x=0 into the function.

f(0)=3,500-225(0)


f(0)=3,500, hence the initial level is 3,500.


To determine the level of water in the pool after 14 hours, we put x=14 into the equation to get;

f(14)=3,500-225(14)

f(14)=3,500-3150


f(14)=350


To determine the water level after 4 hours we put x=4

f(4)=3,500-225(4)

f(4)=3,500-900

f(14)=2,600
