Let X be the first number
there is a 2 numbers distance between each even number eg.2 ,4, 6, 8, etc.
So the 2nd number is X+2
The sum of the 1st and 2nd numbers = 14
X + X+2 =14
2X +2 =14
2X = 14-2
2X = 12
X = 12/2
X = 6
Therefore,
The first number i.e, X = 6
And the second number i.e, X+2 = 6+2 =8
******************************************************************************
This is the only positive pair in case of two consecutive numbers if the are even numbers but not consecutive there will be more pairs
12 + 2 = 14
10 + 4 = 14
8 + 6 = 14 (Already found)
The question is a little hard to understand... let me see what i can do. I'll edit what i figure out on here. :) (PS) Did you reword the question? Do you think you could double check and make sure this is what the question looks like?
Started her day with a full bag of apples (?)
She needs 3 for an apple pie
She had 12 total (?)
Or maybe she needs 12 for a pie and now she has 3?
The leading term of polynomial function is the the term contain highest degree so here in the given question leading term is 
and leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with greatest exponent -3
RULES for End behaviour
we have following four cases
CASE1: Even degree and positive leading coefficient


CASE2: Even degree and negative leading coefficient


CASE3: Odd degree and positive leading coefficient


CASE4: Odd degree and negative leading coefficient

Here in the given case we have odd degree and negative leading coefficient

Answer:
The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:
11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100
11 + 6 = X
36 = 100
17 = X
17 x 100/36 = X
1700/36 = X
47.22 = X
The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.

Answer:
3. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula applies in 3 dimensions as well as 2.
d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² +(z2 -z1)²)
d = √((-2)² +6² +3²) = √(4 +36 +9) = √49
d = 7
The distance between the two points is 7 units.
