100=100%
15=X
15/100 x 100= 15%
The answer is 18+(-20) because if if you were going to solve that equation you would use the absolute value of -20 and then the opposite of the sign giving you 18-20. Hope this helps:)
Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.
Solution: The commutative property of addition states that when two numbers are being added, their order can be changed without affecting the sum.
