Looks like all you have to do it multiply the numbers together; there is no application of the Distributive Property to these problems.
It is important to remember that weight is not the same as mass - the weight of an object and its mass are directly proportional . This means that for a given gravitational field strength, the greater the mass of the object, the greater its weight.
The degree is the little number above the x so in this case it would be n.
Step-by-step explanation:
(Hope this explanation can ease your mind a little if possible! Alright let's go! :D)
Let n be the middle of the 3 consecutive even integers. Therefore, (n - 2) and (n + 2) are the smallest and largest of the 3 numbers respectively.
We know that (n - 2) + n + (n + 2) = 78,
so 3n = 78, and n = 78/3 = 26.
Since the middle number is 26, the smallest number is 26 - 2 = 24 and the largest number is 26 + 2 = 28.
