The sum of three consecutive even integers is 72. Let x represent the least consecutive integer.

2 answers:

8 0

The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6 = 66
x = 66/3 = 22

The least consecutive integer is 22
The second consecutive integer is 24
Therefore, the numbers are 22, 24 and 26

2.1x 10^8 is how many times the value of 4.2 x 10^2?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find out how many times larger something is than something else, you have to divide. We will set up a problem that looks like this:

$\frac{2.1*10^8}{4.2*10^2}$

Diving 2.1 by 4.2 gives us .5; to divide the exponents, we remember that if we divide like bases we have to subtract the exponents. 10 is our base in both cases, so 8 - 2 gives us 6, resulting in:

$.5*10^6$
