X
X+2
X+4
Those are 3 consecutive odd integers
X is equal to -17.85
Hope this helped☺☺
First, since all of the terms are multiplied, you can cancel them out to simplify them:
18/9 = 2
When a term has exponents on the top and bottom of a fraction, you subtract the bottom from the top:
c^8/c^3 = c^5
d^9/d^6 = d^3
So now, we can get rid of the fraction bar and put all of these terms into one expression:
2(c^5)(d^3)
Get into y=mx+b form
m=slope
b=y intercept
solve for y
12x+2y=-60
minus 12x both sides
2y=-12x-60
divide both sides by 2
y=-6x-30
slope is -6 and y intercept is -30
17.2 • 3.1
= 53.32
hope this helped :p
