First represent your 3 consecutive integers as follows.
X ⇒ <em>first integer</em>
X + 1 ⇒ <em>second integer</em>
X + 2 ⇒ <em>third integer</em>
<em />
Since their sum is 84, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 84.
Simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 84.
Now subtract 3 from both sides to get 3x = 81.
Dividing both sides by 3, we find that <em>x = 27</em>.
Finally, make sure you list all your answers.
If <em>x </em>is 27 then <em>x </em>+ 1 is 28 and <em>x </em>+ 2 is 29.
Answer:
$93.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
change in the total cost for each book printed = $15
cost to get started (before books are bought) = $1200
Step-by-step explanation:
IF the eqn is y = 15x +1200
where y represent the total cost of publishing a book (in dollars) and
x represent the number of copies of the book printed
then cost to get started (before books are bought) can be found by substitute x=0 into the eqn
y = 1200 + 15*0 = $1200
change in the total cost for each book printed will be the difference in total cost at x=0 and x=1
when x=0, y=1200
when x=1, y=1200+15*1=1215
so the change in total cost=$15
