2x + 2x+2 = -134
4x + 2 = -134
4x = -136 |: 4
x = -34

2x = 2 * (-34) = -68
2x + 2 = -68 + 2 = -66

This numbers are -66 and -68.

If we let x equal one of the numbers, and we let y equal the other number, we can define the equation as x+y=-134. Since we know, though, that the numbers are even and consecutive integers, we can say that y=x+2. We can then substitute our new value of y into the first equation which becomes x+x+2=-134. It can then be simplified as follows:
x+x+2=-134 \\ 2x+2=-134 \\ 2x=-136 \\ x=-68.
We have now solved for x, but we still need to know what y is, so we need the equation y=x+2 which we can evaluate and solve for y.
y=x+2 \\ y=-68+2 \\ y=-66
Now we have the two consecutive even integers whose sum is -134. They are -68 and -66.

The vertex of this parabola is (2,-1). When the y value is 0, the x value is 5. What is the coefficient of the squared term in t
Schach [20]
Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k
h = 2
k = -1
y = 0
x = 5

0 = a(5 - 2)² - 1
0 = 9a - 1
a = 1/9

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

30 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

  • 3 different sandwiches
  • 2 different salads
  • 5 different drinks

Let assume that the combo contains:  1 sandwich, 1 salad, and 1 drink

Hence, we have:

  • The total possible ways of choosing sandwiches she can choose is: 3
  • The total possible ways of choosing salads she can choose is: 2
  • The total possible ways of choosing drinks she can choose is: 5

=> Total ways = 3*5*2 = 30 ways or there are 30 different combos Keisha can choose

Hope it will find you well.

Solve the following equation for the variable indicated<br> 15 = Зn + 6р, for n
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Solving the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n we get \mathbf{n=5-2p}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n

Solving:

15 = 3n + 6p

Subtract both sides by 6p

15-6p = 3n +6p -6p\\15-6p=3n

Switch sides of equality

3n=15-6p

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3n}{3} =\frac{15-6p}{3}\\n=\frac{3(5-2p)}{3}\\n=5-2p

So, solving the equation 15 = 3n + 6p for variable n we get \mathbf{n=5-2p}
