Answer:

  {-3, -1, 1, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes it is convenient to consider the average value of the integers in a "consecutive integer" problem.

<h3>Setup</h3>

We know the average value of 4 consecutive odd integers is the even integer between the middle two. If we call that "n", then the integers of interest are (n-3), (n-1), (n+1), and (n+3). Of course, their sum is 4 times the average value, so is 4n.

  4n = 0 . . . . . . the sum of the 4 consecutive odd integers is 0

<h3>Solution</h3>

Dividing by 4, we find the average value to be ...

  n = 0/4 = 0

Then the 4 integers are ...

  • n -3 = 0 -3 = -3
  • n -1 = 0 -1 = -1
  • n +1 = 0 +1 = 1
  • n +3 = 0 +3 = 3

<h3>Check</h3>

The average is the sum, divided by the number of contributors:

  0 = (-3 +(-1) +1 +3)/4 = 0/4 . . . . . . true

The equation that models the sentence is : x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) +  (x + 6)  = 0. The numbers are {-3, -1, 1, 3}.

An odd number is a number that cannot be divided into half without any remainders. For example when 7 is divided in half, its value is 3.5. Examples of Positive odd numbers are 1,3, 5, 7. 11 etc. Examples of Negative odd numbers are -1, -3, -5, -7 etc.

<h3>What are Consecutive Odd Numbers?</h3>

Consecutive odd numbers are odd numbers that follow each other. Examples are 1, 3, 5. Consecutive odd numbers increase/decreases by 2.

In order to model the sentence, let x represent the first odd number then

Second odd number = x + 2

Third odd number = x + 4

Fourth odd number = x + 6

The equation is: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6)  = 0

{ put x = -3 } we get {-3, -1, 1, 3} numbers. Here,

First odd number = -3

Second odd number = -1

Third odd number = 1

Fourth odd number = 3

When we put {-3, -1, 1, 3} values in the above equation then,

such that: (-3) + (-1) + 1 + 3 = 0.

Hence, The equation that models the sentence is : x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) +  (x + 6)  = 0 and the numbers are {-3, -1, 1, 3}.

Do a and b have the same value in the equations 2(a-1.1)=5.8 and 5/2b-2 3/4=7 1/4
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

  • Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve each equation and compare the solutions

1.

  • 2(a - 1.1) = 5.8
  • a - 1.1 = 5.8/2
  • a - 1.1 = 2.9
  • a = 2.9 + 1.1
  • a = 4

2.

  • (5/2)b - 2 3/4 = 7 1/4
  • 2.5b = 7 1/4 + 2 3/4
  • 2.5b = 10
  • b = 10/2.5
  • b = 4

Both a and b have same value

If Gabby wants to buy a t-shirt for $35.99 but she has a discount for 10% off, how much is her final cost?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It's $32.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

35.99 - 35.99*10% =

=35.99 - 35.99*0.1

=35.99 - 3.599

=32.391

32.391 is close to 32.39 so we will round it to that number.

The answer is $32.39.
