three friends are in the same algebra class. Their scores on a recent test are three consecutive odd intergers whose sum is 279.
find each score
1 answer:
X= 1st integer
x+2= 2nd integer
x+4= 3rd integer
Add the integers together
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)= 279
combine like terms
3x + 6= 279
subtract 6 from both sides
3x= 273
divide both sides by 3
x= 91 first integer
Substitute x=91 to find 2nd & 3rd integers
2nd Integer
=x+2
=91+2
=93
3rd Integer
=x+4
=91+4
=95
ANSWER: The three test scores are 91, 93 and 95.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
So since we have 2^-2 We can do 1/2^2 = 0.25
So if you have y^-x = 1/y^x
