Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
  x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39 ;
_____________________________________________
 in which "x" is one of the integers, 
           "(x + 2)" is the next consecutive odd integer;
           "(x + 4)"  is the third consecutive odd integer.
__________________________________________
By solving for "x", we can solve for each of three (3) consecutive odd integers.
________________________________________________________
     x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39  ;
_________________________________________________________
          1x + 1x + 2 + 1x+ 4 = -39 ;
_____________________________________________________  
                   3x + 6 = -39 ;
______________________________________________
               Subtract  "6" from EACH side of the equation:
______________________________________________
                    3x + 6 − 6  =  -39 <span>− 6 ;
____________________________________________________
        to get:   3x = -45 ;
____________________________________________________
           Divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
____________________________________________________
                 3x / 3 = -45 / 3 ;
_____________________________________________________
        to get:   x = -15 ;
______________________________________________________
     x + 2 =  -15 + 2 = -13 ;
_______________________________________________________
     x + 4 =  -15 + 4 =  -11 .
___________________________________________________
Are: -15, -13, and -11 ;  Consecutive odd integers?  YES!
___________________________________________________
Does:  -15 + (-13) + (-11)  =? = -39 ??
_____________________________________________________
           -15 </span>− 13 <span>− 11 = ? 39 ??  YES!
____________________________________________________
Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are:  -15, -13, and -11.

There are three clubs at Redwood High School: Debate, Student council, and Key club. There are 1000 students in the school. And
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The number of students in the key club is 490

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of student in the school = 1000

The total number of student in the debate club = 310

The total number of student in the student council = 650

The total number of student who are in debate and student council = 170

The total number of student who are in both debate and the key club = 150

The total number of student who are in both student council and the key club = 180

The number of students who are in all three clubs = 50

Therefore, we have;

Let A represent the number of students in the debate club

Let B represent the number of students in the student council

Let C represent the number of students in the key club

We have;

n(A∪B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) -  n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(C∩A) + n(A∩B∩C)

Where;

n(A∪B∪C) = 1000

n(A) = 310

n(B) = 650

n(A∩B) = 170

n(B∩C) = 180

n(C∩A) = 150

n(A∩B∩C) = 50

Therefore;

n(C) = n(A∪B∪C) - (n(A) + n(B) -  n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(C∩A) + n(A∩B∩C))

Substituting the values gives;

n(C) = 1000 - (310 + 650 -  170 - 180 - 150 + 50) = 490

The number of students in the key club, n(C) = 490.
