The sum of three consecutive numbers is 96. What are the smallest of these numbers? Write and Solve an Equation.

30+32+34

Step-by-step explanation:

so 30 would be the smallest number. Hope this helps, have a nice day!

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The easy way to set this up is to make the smallest number x - 1. You will see why in a moment. It cuts down on one step)

Equation

(x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 96                Remove the brackets

Solution

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 96                   Combine like terms

3x = 96                                       Divide by 3

x = 32

Note: that is not the smallest number. Remember, the smallest number is x - 1

So the smallest number is 31

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
