The sum of three consecutive even integers is -396. What is the largest of the three integers?

1 answer:

6 0

Let x, x + 2 and x + 4 be three consecutive even integers;
Then x + x + 2 + x + 4 = - 396;
3x + 6 = -96;
3x = - 102;
x = ( -102 )÷3 ;
x = - 34;
The numbers are - 34 ; -32 ; - 30;
The largest of the three integers is - 30.

Hey there!!

Let's take the first number as ' x '

Then, the second number would be ' x + 1 '

Sum of these = 183

Hence,

$x + x + 1 = 183$

$2x + 1 = 183$

$2x = 182$

$x = \frac{182}{2}$

$x = 91$

Hence, the small integer is 91

Hope my answer helps!

What is the value of the discriminant in the equation shown below?<br><br> x^2 -6x +4 =0

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Discriminant = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the discriminant.

Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac

The given equation is x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.

Here the value of a = 1, b = -6 and c = 4.

Plug in the given values in the formula, we get

Discriminant (D) = (-6)^2 - 4*1*4

= 36 - 16

Discriminant = 20

Thank you.
