Three consecutive integers have a sum of –21. which equation can be used to find the value of the three numbers? a. x+x+x= -21 b. x+2x+3x= -21 c. x+(x+1)+(x+2)= -21 d. x+(x+2)+(x+4)= -21

c. x+(x+1)+(x+2)= -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are in a row, like 1,2,3

Let x =the first integer

The next integer is 1 ahead of it

x+1  = next integer

Add 1 to move to the 3rd integer

x+1+1 = x+2

x+2 = the 3rd integer

Add the 3 integers

x+(x+1)+(x+2) = -21

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
