Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prove: That the sum of the squares of 4 consecutive integers is an even integer.

An integer is a any directed number that has no decimal part or indivisible fractional part. Examples are: 4, 100, 0, -20,-100 etc.

Selecting 4 consecutive positive integers: 5, 6, 7, 8. Then;

5^{2} = 25

6^{2} = 36

7^{2} = 49

8^{2} = 64

The sum of the squares = 25 + 36 + 49 + 64

                                       = 174

Also,

Selecting 4 consecutive negative integers: -10, -11, -12, -13. Then;

-10^{2} = 100

-11^{2} = 121

-12^{2} = 144

-13^{2} = 169

The sum of the squares = 100 + 121 + 144 + 169

                                     = 534

Therefore, the sum of the squares of 4 consecutive integers is an even integer.

Solve each equation. Check your solution.<br><br> 7a+10=2a
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

7a + 10 = 2a

subtract 7a from each side

7a-7a+10 = 2a-7a

10 = -5a

divide by -5

10/-5 = -5a/-5

-2 = a

check

7 (-2) +10 = 2(-2)

-14 + 10 = -4

-4 = -4
