n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]
twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12
The equation:
2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12
2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12
2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 <em>use distributive property</em>
(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12
4n + 12 = 6n - 12 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
4n = 6n - 24 <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>
-2n = -24 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>
Simplify the first numerator first
-2(x+1)
-2x-2
Then you can set up an equation using cross multiplication
5(-2x-2)= 3x
Simplify and solve
-10x-10=3x
-10=13x
-10/13=x
Final answer: x=-10/13
Answer: I believe that you have to do e^3 to find the volume of a cube.
If you had the side, you would do a^3 (a stands for the side length)
If the order of the numbers in the question are the order Darrin put theem in then no, his work is not correct. this is because 7.25 is not greater than 7.52. the real order should be 7.52,7.25, 5.72, 5.27
Ok so maybe add or subtract the numbers and see what u get :) I calculated it
