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.

Answer:

$s\geq 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a student needs to make a square cardboard piece.

Perimeter of cardboard should be equal to atleast 92 inches

We have to find that which shows reasonable domain for f(s)

Let s be the side of square cardboard

We know that perimeter of square =f(s=) $4\times side$

Then, perimeter of cardboard= $4s$

$4s\geq 92$

Dividing by 4 on both sides

$s\geq 23$

Hence, the domain of function $[23,\infty)$

Therefore, option d is true.

Answer:d: $s\geq 23$
