Let represent the weight of the boat. The motor weighs 1500 lbs less than that, so: . The trailer is 1900 lbs less, so: .

The sum of the boat and the motor is:



5 times the trailer:

Of course. Given any two points they define a line. It is only when you have three or more points that you would have to check to see if they are co-linear.

Let represent the smallest of the three integers. Then the next consecutive even integer must be , and the one after that must be .

The product of the second and the third:



Ten times the first plus 20:



and, Bill Clinton notwithstanding, "is" means equals in this context so:



Put into standard form:



Solve this factorable quadratic. Exclude the negative root because the problem asks for positive even integers. The positive root is the smallest of the three consecutive even integers. The other two follow directly.

How would you respond if the problem were reworded by removing the word "positive," thus:

Find three consecutive even integers such that the product of the second and third integers is twenty more than ten times the first integer.

logarithm/276225: 16,a,b,c,60 find a,b,c in the arithmetic sequence?

Answer 201333 by solver91311(16877) About Me  on 2010-03-02 16:40:03 (Show Source):

The fact that you need to put three numbers into the interval between 16 and 60 means that you will actually be creating four equal sized intervals. 60 minus 16 is 44. 44 divided by 4 is 11. 11 is then your common difference.

So, 16 plus 11...and so on.

The fact that the line is dashed means that the inequality being graphed does not include "equals"

You have a graph of



as opposed to a graph of



which graph would be identical except that the boundary line would be solid.

The dashed line means that points that are actually ON the line are NOT included in the solution set of the inequality. Three of the listed points are actually on the line, and only one of them is properly into the shaded area.

The apothem of an equilateral triangle divides the triangle into two 30-60-90 right triangles, where the apothem is the long leg of the triangle.

The sides of a 30-60-90 right triangle are in proportion .

is 20 times greater than , therefore the other two sides must measure 10 and 20 inches.

The area of a right triangle is one-half of the product of the measures of the two legs. For your problem:



But that is the area of only one-half of the equilateral triangle, so the total area you seek is:

I'm going to just assume that you used ' to mean degrees of arc as opposed to minutes of arc which is the traditional meaning of that symbol.

The sum of the interior angles of any -gon is given by:



For a pentagon, is 5. So calculate the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.

From that calculation result, subtract the sum of 130°, 90°, and 80° leaving you the sum of the measures of the remaining two angles.

Let represent the measure of the smaller angle. Then the larger angle must measure . Furthermore, the sum:



must be equal to the result of the previous calculation. Putting it all together:



Just solve for to get the measure of the smaller of the two remaining angles. This will turn out to be the smallest of all 5 angles. The other one will be the largest of all 5. Discover its measure by multiplying the measure of the smallest angle by 2 and adding 30 degrees. Now that you know the measure of all 5 angles, it should be an easy matter to add the measures of the two smallest ones.

One whole number is a factor of 10. 0.3 is a factor of 2. 0.1 is approximately a factor of 1.25, and 0.2 is worth about 1.56.

8.8 minus 7.1 = 1.7.

Pick a number for either one of the variables. It doesn't matter which variable, and it doesn't matter what number you pick (although small integers generally make the arithmetic easier). Substitute that selected value for the variable you chose, then do the arithmetic to find the value of the other variable that results. Then create your ordered pair (x, y). The value of x ALWAYS comes first (that's why they call it an ORDERED pair)

Your problem has no solution as stated. If you have two consecutive integers, one of them must be odd and the other must be even in some order. The sum of an even number and an odd number must be odd -- but 146 is even.

Now if you meant two consecutive even integers, it would work out. But that isn't what you said, and I don't want to guess.
