n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive odd integers

The equation:

2n = 3(n + 4) + 15 |use distributive property

2n = (3)(n) + (3)(4) + 15

2n = 3n + 12 + 15

2n = 3n + 27 |subtract 3n from both sides

-n = 27 |change the signs

n = -27

n + 2 = -27 + 2 = -25

n + 4 = -27 + 4 = -23

Answer: -27, -25, -23.

If x2 - y2 = 12 and x - y = 4, what is the value

ira [324]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-y²=12

(x-y)(x+y)=12

but x-y=4

4(x+y)=12

x+y=12/4

x+y=3

lets make x the subject of the formula

x=3-y

since x-y=4

(3-y)-y=4

3-y-y=4

-2y=1

y=-1/2

then x=3-y

x=3-(-1/2)

x=(6--1)/2

x=7/2

therefore; x²+2xy+y

=(7/2)²+2×7/2×-1/2+(-1/2)

=49/4-7/2-1/2

=(49-14-2)/4

=33/4

=8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that

The number of ways to pick 5 numbers from 45 are

$45C_5$

$\frac{45\times44\times43\times42\times41}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}|$

= 1,221,759.

There are 32 ways to pick a gold ball so total number of ways to get 6 matching numbers is
