Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).
(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22 Get rid of the parentheses
x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22 Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
3x - 4 = -22 Add 4 to both sides
3x = -18 Divide
x = -6
Check you work.
x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2
(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22
So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .
You start with f(x)=8-3(3)². Then, going in order of PEMDAS, you start with your exponent. So you have f(x)=8-3(9). Then multiplication, f(x)=8-27. Then your subtraction. f(x)=-19
Remember:
a^m * a^n=a^(m+n)
a^-m=1/a^m
8³ x 8⁻⁵=8³⁻⁵=8⁻²=1/8²=1/64<1
Answer: the student is not correct, because 1/64<1, and 8³ x 8⁻⁵=1/64.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.
The sum of two numbers will be zero when you have the same number and one is positive and one is negative. For example 1 + -1= 0
