The sum of three consecutive integers is three more than twice the middle integer. create an equation and solve to find the integers. can someone me out? and explain and show work!

Let's assume the three consecutive integers are x, x+1 and x+2.

So, sum of x, x+1 and x+2 can be written as x+x+1+x+2.

Twice the middle integer (x+1) will be 2*(x + 1).

Hence 3 more than 2(x+1) can be represent as 3 + 2(x+1).

Hence, we can set u the following equation as following:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 3 + 2(x + 1).

3x + 3 = 3 + 2x + 2

3x + 3 = 2x + 5 Combine the like terms.

3x + 3- 3 = 2x + 5 - 3 Subtract 3 from each sides.

3x = 2x + 2

3x - 2x = 2x + 2 - 2x Subtract 2x from each sides.

x = 2

So, the first integer is 2.

Second integer is 2+ 1 = 3 and

Third integer 2+2 = 4

So, the three consecutive integers are 2, 3 and 4.

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
