Two consecutive odd numbers total -20 find the smaller

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

use an equation to solve this

consecutive means in succession, one after the other

since they're odd, both numbers have to be odd

let x be the first number

x+x+2=-20

+2 because if you only +1, one of the numbers would be even

2x+2=-20

-2. -2

2x=-22

x=-11

the smaller would be -9 since we are adding x and x+2 together

What is the product?<br><br> (5.63 x 10^5) x 5,600,000
victus00 [196]

Answer: 3.1528 \times 10^{12}.


Step-by-step explanation: Given expression (5.63 \times 10^5) \times 5,600,000.

In order to find the product of given expression, we need to convert 5,600,000 into scientific notation, because other number is also in scientific notation.

5,600,000 = 5.6 × 10^6.

Therefore, (5.63 \times 10^5) \times 5,600,000 =(5.63 \times 10^5) \times (5.6 \times 10^6).

Now, multiplying 5.63 × 5.6 first, we get 31.528.

And 10^5 × 10^6 = 10^11.

Therefore,

(5.63 \times 10^5) \times (5.6 \times 10^6) = 31.528 \times 10^11.

<h3>Or 3.1528 × 10^12.</h3>

Find the reciprocal of the expression. 10b/2b + 8
Alexus [3.1K]
Comment
I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as 
10b/(2b + 8) 

If that is the case the reciprocal is

(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did. 

Put the numerator in  the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.

You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.

1/5 + 4/5b 
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in

Latex.\frac{2b + 8}{10b} =  \frac{2b}{10b} +  \frac{8}{10b} =  \frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{5b} =  \frac{1}{5} +  \frac{4}{5b}

Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2 

The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.

The answer
I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.
