19. Find 3 consecutive integers such that twice
the least integer is 12 more than the greatest
integer.

Answers

Answer:

et's start by defining the three consecutive integers.

.

If x represents the least of the three, then the next consecutive integer is x+1 and the

next consecutive integer is 1 more than that ... or x + 2

.

So the three consecutive integers are x, x+1, and x+2.

.

Twice the least integer is, as you correctly wrote, 2x.

.

12 more than the greatest integer is x+2 + 12 = x + 14

.

Since these two amounts must be equal, you can write:

.

2x = x + 14

.

Now you need to get rid of the x on the right side so that you end up with all the terms

containing x on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side. You can

get rid of the x on the right side by subtracting x from the right side. But if you subtract

 

something from the right side, you must also subtract it from the left side to keep the

equation in balance. So subtract x from both sides. When you do that, the x disappears

from the right side and the left side becomes 2x minus x which is just x.

.

So the equation is reduced to:

.

x = 14

.

If x is 14 then the next two consecutive integers are 15 and 16 ... x+1 and x+2. So the

three consecutive integers are 14, 15, and 16.

.

Check ... the least integer is 14. Twice the least integer is 28. Is 28 actually 12 more

than the greatest integer which is 16? Yes it is, so the problem checks.

.

You were on the right track, but you just needed to know the difference in the three integers

was that they were x, x+1, and x+2. Hope this helps to show you how you could work the

problem through to get the final answer.

If x = 14, which equation is true?
A.3 ( 20 − x ) = 44
B.3 ( 12 − x ) = 6
C.2 ( x − 3 ) = 22
D.2 x − 3 = 22

Answers

Answer:

C.  2 ( x − 3 ) = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

if x = 14

2 ( x − 3 ) = 22

2 (14 - 3) = 22

2 (11) = 22

22 = 22

therefore, the answer is C.

To find:

The y-intercept (in ordered pair).

Solution:

We have,

[tex]1.5x+4.5y=18[/tex]

Putting x=0, we get

[tex]1.5(0)+4.5y=18[/tex]

[tex]0+4.5y=18[/tex]

[tex]4.5y=18[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.5.

[tex]y=4[/tex]

So, y-intercept is 4.

Therefore, the graph intersect the y-axis at (0,4).

Answers

Answer:

slope of p= -7/12

slope of q= -3/6.8

slope of r= -16/6.4

slope of m= 6.2/15.5

slope of n= 6.8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of the line are given as 2.5 for p and q and -2.5 for r, m and n respectively.

What is the slope of straight line?

The slope of a straight line is the tangent of the angle formed by it with the positive x axis as the reference.

The negative slope indicates the rate of decrease while the positive shows the rate of increase.

The slope of the given lines can be obtained as follows,

(a) In order to find slope of line p,

Use the formula m = (x₂ - x₁)/(y₂ - y₁) and substitute the corresponding values to get,

m = (-3 - 8)/(0.4 - (-4))

⇒ m = -2.5

(b)  In order to find slope of line q,

Use the formula m = (x₂ - x₁)/(y₂ - y₁) and substitute the corresponding values to get,

m = (13 - 0)/(6.8 - 12)

⇒ m = -2.5

(c)  In order to find slope of line r,

Use the formula m = (x₂ - x₁)/(y₂ - y₁) and substitute the corresponding values to get,

m = (13 - (-3))/(6.8 - 0.4)

⇒ m = 2.5

(d) In order to find slope of line m,

Use the formula m = (x₂ - x₁)/(y₂ - y₁) and substitute the corresponding values to get,

m = (-15.5 - 0)/(0 - 6.2)

⇒ m = 2.5

(e)  In order to find slope of line n,

Use the formula m = (x₂ - x₁)/(y₂ - y₁) and substitute the corresponding values to get,

m = (-5 - 12)/(- 6.8 - 0)

⇒ m = 2.5

Hence, the slopes of first two lines are 2.5 and of the remaining three are 2.5.

The point 3/4 of the way from A(-4,- 7) to B(12, 5)

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of C are (8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the segment from A(-4,-7) to B(12,5) and it's required to find a point C(x,y) that is located at 3/4 of the distance from A to B.

This means that:

[tex]d_{AC}=3/4\cdot d_{AB}[/tex]

where dAC is the distance from A to C and dAB is the distance from A to B.

The same proportion of the distances is satisfied by the coordinates of the point C, that is:

[tex]\displaystyle x-x_A=\frac{3}{4}(x_B-x_A)[/tex]

Adding xA:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{3}{4}(x_B-x_A)+x_A[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{3x_B+x_A}{4}[/tex]

Similarily:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{3y_B+y_A}{4}[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{3(12)-4}{4}[/tex]

x = 8

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{3(5)-7}{4}[/tex]

y = 2

The length of a rectangle is three times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 72 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer: length=27, width 9

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, you should set up an equation. The length is 3x, and the width is x. To find the perimeter of a triangle, you do length times two + width times two. So 6x+2x=72. 8x=72, x=9. Length is 27, width is 9.

Answer:

Length: 27cm

Width: 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of the rectangle is 3 times the width, we can assume the    width=x and the length=3x.

      P=72cm

     Perimeter= 3x+3x+x+x

Set the 2 equations equal to each other

   72=3x+3x+x+x

Solve for x

   72=8x

   9=x

Length=3x

   Length=9(3)

   Length=27

Width=x

   Width=9
