Mathematics

3 0

Answer:

-75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the first  odd number to be 'x'.

Thus:

  1. 1st odd number: x
  2. 2nd odd number: x+2
  3. 3rd odd number: x+3

According to the question, the sum of these three consecutive ODD numbers should be equal to -219

So,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -219

3x + 6 = -219

3x = -225

x = -75

A packet of candles and box of matches cost #420. The candles cost 20 times as much as the matches
olga55 [171]

Answer:

candles = $400

matches = $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of candles = $c

Let cost of matches = $m

c = 20 m (20 times m)

c + m = 420

20m + m = 420

21 m = 420

m = 20

c = 20 (20) = 400

What is 0.316 in expanded form.
RUDIKE [14]
Uhm, I'm pretty new to expanded form but I think it's something like:
(3 × 1/10) + (1 × 1/100) + (6 × 1/1000)
You can also write it as:
0.3 + 0.01 + 0.006

Which parent function is represented by the graph?
sattari [20]

Answer:

D. The linear parent function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are always characterized by a straight line graph with or without an intercept on the vertical or horizontal axis. A linear function usually has an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is commonly depicted as x while the dependent variable is y.

Thus a linear equation is an equation of the type y=ax where a is a constant term. The equation of a straight line graph his y=mx +c, where;

m= gradient of the straight line graph

x= the independent variable

y= the dependent variable

c= the vertical intercept
