The [Detroit] Pistons did not lose because of the lack of ability. They are an all-around better team. They lost because of the

law of averages. They will beat the [San Antonio] Spurs every two times out of three. When you examine the NBA finals [of 2005], that is exactly how they lost the seventh (last game) because that would have been three out of three. The Spurs will beat the Pistons one out of three. It just so happens that, that one time was the final game, because the Pistons had already won two in a row.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

126°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Corresponding angles C and H of the similar triangles have the same measure, so you have ...

... ∠G + ∠H + ∠D = 180°

... ∠G + 31° +23° = 180° . . . . . . . subtract the numbers on the left to find ∠G

... 180° -54° = ∠G = 126°

How do you find three consecutive even integers with a sum of -84. Please help!
mote1985 [20]
3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30

x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26

so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30
