You have defined x to be the smaller of two consecutive integers. Then the larger will be (x+1). The given relation is

... (x) + 3(x+1) = -5 . . . . the smaller plus 3 times the larger is -5

... 4x + 3 = -5 . . . . . . . .simplify

... 4x = -8 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3

... x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The smaller of the two integers is -2.

The average mass of an ant is approximately 3 × 10 − 3 grams. The average mass of a giraffe is approximately 2 × 10 3 kilograms.
Vika [28.1K]

Given that average mass of an ant = 3 \times 10^{-3}grams.

Given that average mass of a giraffe = 2 \times 10^{3} Kilograms.

Now we have to find about how many times more mass does a giraffe have than an ant. Before carring out any comparision, we must make both units equal.

Like convert kilogram into gram or gram into kilogram.

I'm going to convert kilogram into gram using formula

1 Kg = 1000 g


So the average mass of a giraffe = 2 \times 10^{3} *10^3 grams.


Now we just need to divide mass of giraffe by mass of ant to find the answer.

\frac{2 \times 10^{3} *10^3 }{3 \times 10^{-3} }

= \frac{2 \times 10^{3} *10^3 *10^{3}}{3  }

= \frac{2 \times 10^{3+3+3}}{3  }

= \frac{2 \times 10^9}{3  }

= \frac{2}{3  } \times 10^9

=666666666.667

Hence final answer is \frac{2}{3  } \times 10^9 which is approx 666666666.667.

Write the quadratic equation the has the roots (-1-√2)/3 and (-1+√2)/3 if its coefficient with x^2 is equal to...1
DerKrebs [107]

Step-by-step explanation:

x1+x2 = (-1-√2)/3 + (-1+√2)/3

= -2/3

(x1) (x2) = (-1-√2)/3 × (-1+√2)/3

= -1/9

the equation :

x² -(-2/3)x + (-1/9) = 0

x² + ⅔ x - 1/9 = 0

Stella [2.4K]

1st two are 25, next two are three times that

 so 3 x 25 = 75

 so the four digit number is 2575

 that is multiplied by 352

 so 2575 x 352 = 906400
