Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the second integer

x+2 is the third integer

x+ x+1 + x+2 = -96

Combine like terms

3x+3 = -96

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = -96-3

3x =-99

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -99/3

x = -33

The integers are

-33

-33+1 = -32

-33+2 = -31

The largest integer is -31

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(L+B)=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(\dfrac{4}{3}x+x)=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8}{3}x+2x=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8x+6x}{3}=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{14x}{3}=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 14x=165$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=11.78$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x\approx 12$

Now

B=x=12
L=4/3(12)=4(4)=16

What is 10^-3 in math

Alborosie

It is 1/1000 or 1/10∧-3
that is because whenever there is a negative exponent put it as the denominator and the numerator by default, if there isn't any, should be one.
so put it under and then figure it out
