the answer to this question is letter a
Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.

And we solve from there:

So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.

Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
So first we need to plug in 5 as the variable a and -7 as the variable b
4(5)-(-7)
Next we multiply the 4 and the 5 together to get 20
4(5) = 20 or 4 x 5 = 20
20-(-7)
Now we subtract negative 7 from 20
20-(-7) = 27
This can also be written as 20 plus 7 as a mathematical rule states: two negatives make a positive. So:
20-(-7) = 20 + 7
Both of these are equivalent in every sense of the word and give us our final answer of 27
