The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 280 find the integers.

If our consecutive odd integers were 1, 3, 5, and 7, for example, and x represents the number 1, then x+2 would represent the number 3, x+4 would represent the number 5, and x+6 would represent the number 7. So the expressions for the integers need to be added together to equal 280. x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6) = 280. You don't really need the parenthesis but I put them there so you could see how the equation is set up using them. That simplifies down to 4x + 12 = 280. Then 4x = 268 and x = 67. 67 is the smallest odd number of the bunch, then x+2=69, x+4=71, and x+6=73. There you go!

Determine the equation of a line that passes through A(2,5) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x−y+12=0. State the equation

Ksju [112]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

3x - y + 12 = 0 ( subtract 3x + 12 from both sides )

- y = - 3x - 12 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = 3x + 12 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes , thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 6 = - 1

y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. 8^x

Dvinal [7]

$\bf a)\qquad \left( \cfrac{32}{4} \right)^x\implies \left( \cfrac{8}{1} \right)^x\implies (8)^x\implies 8^x
\\\\\\
b)\qquad x^4\impliedby \textit{nothing to simplify}
\\\\\\
c)\qquad 8\cdot 8^{x-1}\implies 8^1\cdot 8^{x-1}\impliedby \textit{same base, add the exponents}
\\\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\left. \qquad \right.8^{1+x-1}\implies 8^x$

$\bf d)\qquad \cfrac{32^x}{4}\implies \cfrac{(2^5)^x}{2^2}\implies (2^5)^x\cdot 2^{-2}\implies 2^{5x}\cdot 2^{-2}\implies 2^{5x-2}
\\\\\\
e)\qquad \cfrac{32^x}{4^x}\implies \left( \cfrac{32}{4} \right)^x\implies \left( \cfrac{8}{1} \right)^x\implies 8^x
\\\\\\
f)\qquad 8\cdot 8^{x+1}\implies 8^1\cdot 8^{x+1}\implies 8^{1+x+1}\implies 8^{x+2}$
