Answer:
{1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}
Step-by-step explanation:
Write expressions for three consecutive integers: n, n + 1, n + 2.
Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).
(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1
Multiply (FOIL) the left side.
n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1
Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.
n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0
Factor.
(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0
Set the two factors equal to 0
n - 1 = 0, n - 3 = 0
Solve for n.
n = 1, n = 3
One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.
The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}
8 groups is what i suppose
Hope this helps!!! ;-)
Answer:
5 hours 22 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the number of hours that Jeri worked as: h
Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour
= $4.50 + $3 × h
= $4.50 + 3h
If she is asked to start before 7 a.m. Jeri charges 1.5 times the regular amount.
= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h)
If she made $29.25 on a job that began at 5 am, how many hours did Jeri work?
Hence, we have the final equation;
= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h) = $29.25
= 6.75 + 4.5h = 29.25
Collect like terms
= 4.5h = 29.25 - 6.75
4.5h = 22.5
h = 22.5/4.5
h = 5.3571428571
Approximately= 5.36 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
0.36 hour =
60 × 0.36
= 21.6 minutes
Approximately ≈ 22 minutes
Therefore, Jeri worked for 5 hours 22 minutes
Hi there! The answer is 56 + 8x square feet
The length of a rectangle is 8 feet.
The width of that rectangle is 7 + x feet.
We can find the area of the rectangle by using the formula A = L x W
(Area = Length x Width)
Filling in this formula gives us:
A = 8 (7 + x) = 56 + 8x square feet
Answer:
7cm
Step-by-step explanation:
One side of a square is increased by 8 cm, let us say the length got increased by 8 cm. So we have length of x + 8 cm
An adjacent side, the width, decreased by 2 cm. So we have width of x - 2cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)
40 = 2( (x + 8) + ( x - 2) )
40 = 2( 2x + 6)
40 = 4x + 12
28 = 4x
x = 7 cm
That is 7 cm of the length of the side of the square
