Three consecutive integers have a sum of -42. Write and solve an equation to find the three integers.​

Answers

Answer 1
Let the first integer be x.

Let the second integer be x + 1 .

Let the third integer be x + 2 .

According to the question

x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = -42

Opening the brackets and simplifying :

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -42

3x + 3 = -42

Now , solving equation :

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \: \:3x \: + \: 3 \: = \: -42[/tex]

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \: \: 3x \: = \: -42 \: - 3[/tex]

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \:3x \: = \: -45 \: [/tex]

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \:x \: = \: \frac{ - 45}{ \: 3} \\ [/tex]

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \:x \: = \: \cancel\frac{ - 45}{ \: 3} \: \: ^{ - 15} \\ [/tex]

[tex]\bf \rightarrow \:x \: = \: - 15[/tex]

[tex]{\boxed{ \Large{ \red{ \rm{ \underline{ Now \: \: substitute}}}}}}[/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies \: \:x \: = \: - 15[/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies \: \:x \: + \: 1 \: = \: - 15 \: + \: 1 \: = \: - 14[/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies \: \:x \: + \:2 \: = \: - 15 \: + \: 2 \: = \: - 13[/tex]

-15 , -14 and -13 are the three consecutive integers.

The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term

Answers

Answer:

common difference is 0.5

first term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term of an ap Tn=a+(n-1)d

T12=10.5

T18=13.5

therefore come up with two equations

T12=a+(12-1)d

10.5=a+11d(1st equation)

T18=a+(18-1)d

13.5=a+17d(2nd equation)

then solve both as a simultaneous equation

a+11d=10.5

a+17d=13.5

-6d/-6=-3/-6

d=0.5

use one of the equations to find the first term

a+11(0.5)=10.5

a+5.5=10.5

a=10.5-5.5

a=5

Hasib earns 30 cents for every carrot he sells.
He earns an extra $3 for every 30 carrots he
sells. How many carrots must he sell in order to
earn $555?

Answers

Answer:

He must sell 1390 carrots

Step-by-step explanation:

30x + 300x/30 = 55500

40x = 55500

x = 1387.5

1387.5

multiply 30 by .3 to get $9 for 30 carrots

Then add $3 to this amount to get $12 dollars.

Divide 555 by 12 to get 46 R3.

Multiply 46 by 30 because its 46 bundles of 30 carrots

Then divide the 3 dollars by .3 for each carrot to get 10 carrots

1380+10 = 1390

Hasib must sell 1390 carrots in order to earn $555.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Given information; Hasib earns 30 cents for every carrot he sells. He earns an extra $3 for every 30 carrots he sells.

So, the equation form;

30x + 300x/30 = 55500

40x = 55500

x = 1387.5

Now, multiply 30 by .3 to get $9 for 30 carrots

Then add $3 + 9 = $12 dollars.

Now, Divide 555/ 12 = 46 R3.

46 x 30  = 1380  because its 46 bundles of 30 carrots

For each carrot to get 10 carrots

1380 + 10 = 1390

Therefore, Hasib must sell 1390 carrots in order to earn $555.

If [ -2 5 7 6] and |B| = -|A|, which matrix is matrix B?

Answers

|A| and |B| denote the determinants of the matrices A and B.

We have

[tex]|A| = \begin{vmatrix}-2&5\\7&6\end{vmatrix} = (-2)\times6-7\times5 = -12 - 35 = -47[/tex]

Then B is a matrix such that |B| = -|A| = +47.

The only choice satisfying this is C, since

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis).

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that fall on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the given points (-4,-1) and ( -1,2):

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{2-(-1)}{(-1)-(-4)}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{2+1}{-1+4}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{3}{3}\\\\m=1[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=1x+b\\y=x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=x+b[/tex]

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b:

[tex]2=-1+b\\2+1=b\\3=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 3. Plug this back into the original equation:

[tex]y=x+3[/tex]

Find x

We have:

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =5\log2-\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Apply exponent rule

[tex]\log x\³+ \log5x =\log2^5-\log\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Cancel log on both sides

If f(x)=16x-30 and g(x)=14x-6 for which value of x does (f-g)(x)=0

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=16x-30

g(x)=14x-6

f(x) - g(x) = 16x-30 - (14x-6)

               = 16x - 30 - 14x +6

                = 2x -24

Set this equal to zero

2x-24 = 0

Add 24 to each side

2x-24 +24 = 0+24

2x = 24

Divide by 2

2x/2 =24/2

x = 12

x=12

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x)=16x-30 and g(x)=14x-6

(f-g)(x)=0

or

f(x)-g(x)=0

16x-30-14x+6=0

2x-24=0

2x=24

x=24/2

x=12

Total students in favor of forming a crew team = 38+34= 72

No of students against it : Total students - Students in favor
