Answer:
1 4/25 - 3/5, or 29/25 - 3/5, or
it doesn't really matter they all mean the same
Step-by-step explanation:
1 2/5m - 3/5(2/5m + 1)
multiply first
1 2/5m - 6/25m - 3/5
multiply 1 2/5 only so the denominator is 25 as we can't simplify 6/25, it's so we can add them together, we can't add 3/5 tho bc it's a different term so there's no need to multiply that.
1 10/25m - 6/25m - 3/5
add/subtract
1 4/25m - 3/5
It is true that the product of two consecutive even integers are always one less than the square of their average.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Let the two consecutive odd integers be 1 and 3.
- The product of 1 and 3 is (1
3)=3
- The average of 1 and 3 is (1+3)/2 =4/2 = 2
- The square of their average is (2)² = 4
∴ The product 3 is one less than the square of their average 4.
Let the two consecutive even integers be 2 and 4.
- The product of 2 and 4 is (2
- The average of 2 and 4 is (2+4)/2 =6/2 = 3
- The square of their average is (3)² = 9
∴ The product 8 is one less than the square of their average 9.
Thus, It is true that the product of two consecutive even integers are always one less than the square of their average.
