Find 3 consecutive even integers if their sum decreased by 10 equals -22

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 .

The area of a rectangle is 525 sq cm. the ratio of the length to the width is 7:3. find the length and width.
nalin [4]
Suppose the length is 7x, the width is then 3x
7x*3x=525
21x²=525
x²=25
x=5
so the length is 7*5=35, and the width is 3*5=15

What value of x would make the figure below a parallelogram? please show your work!​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of all angles of a parallelogram is equal to 360 degrees, <Z + <Y is half of the parallelogram, and therefore <Z + <Y = 180 degrees.

16x-4 + 7x = 180, combine like terms

23x - 4 = 180, add 4 on both sides (isolate variable)

23x = 184, divide 23 on both sides

x = 8

A spinner has three sections. The table shows the results of spinning the arrow on the spinner 80 times. What is the experimenta
mihalych1998 [28]
The experimental probability is

  (number of times it stopped over Sect. 2) / (total number of times you tried it)

Number of times it stopped in Section-2: 36

Total number of times you tried it:  (20 + 36 + 24)  =  80

Experimental probability of Section-2  =  36/80 = 9/20  =  45%
