B. I'm terrible at explaining but I'm sure that's right.
Well, 3^9 is the same thing as
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
So 3^9 is equal to 19,683
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
It is negative because the plot is going down not up
We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
