Orlov [11]3 years ago

Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).

(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22   Get rid of the parentheses
    x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22   Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
                               3x - 4 = -22   Add 4 to both sides
                                    3x = -18   Divide
                                      x = -6
Check you work.

x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2

(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22

So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .

Evaluate the expression for the given value of x.<br> 5x + 6 for x = 4
Brrunno [24]
If x=4, rewrite the equation which would be 5(4)+6

First you multiply 4 by 5 which would give you 20

Now put in the 6 in the equation

20+6

20+6=26

Therefore for the expression given the value of x would make your answer be 26

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is
8090 [49]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

this is more of a mind game.  Lots of words to throw you off.  Daily a cow produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already found the mean, "averaged" it out for you) with a deviation of .7 gallons ("give or take" .7 gallons).  On any given day (throw these words out) 68% of the cows (don't need this information to answer the question either, thrown in to confuse you) will produce an amount of milk within which of the following ranges?  Just subtract the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons from the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons to the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9 gallons.  Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons.     You don't even have to go crazy on the math on this question you can rule them all out but A immediately with subtracting .7 from 6.2.  Mind games .... LOL sneaky.
