Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.

Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.

x + x + 2 = -36

2x + 2 = -36

2x = -38

x = -19

The smaller one of the two integers is -19.

x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17

The greater of the two integers is -17.

Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

Let x = one of the integers. To get to the next odd number, you would have to add 2 to the first number so it is x + 2.

"sum" tells us to add.

x + x + 2 = - 36

2x + 2 = - 36

Subtract 2 from both sides to the variable is on one side and constants are on the other.

2x = - 36 - 2

2x = - 38

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable.

x = - 38/2 = - 19

x = - 19

x + 2 = - 19 + 2 = - 17

Your two numbers are -17 and -19.

To check your answer, add them together.

- 17 + (-19) = - 36

-17 - 19 = 36

-36 = -36

Five children know a secret. Every day, the number of children who know the secret doubles. There are 1,280 children in the scho
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the secret spread at a geometric rate we will use the geometric progression formulae

ar^n-1

First term = a= 5

common ratio is 2

For the nth term

5*2^n-1 = 1280 divide both sides of the equation with 5

2^n-1 = 256

2^n-1= 2^8

n-1 =8

n = 8+1

n=9

All the children will know the secret in 9 days

Alternatively

2nd day= 5*2^2-1

5*2^1=

5*2= 10

3rd day = 20

4th day= 40

5th day= 80

6th day = 160

7th day = 320

8th day =640

9th day =1280 children

A regular triangular pyramid with a slant height of 9 m has a volume equal to 50 m^3. find the lateral area of the pyramid
Cerrena [4.2K]

we are given a regular triangular pyramid with a slant height of 9 m and volume of 50 m3. We can get the altitude of the pyramid by sin 60 = h / 9; h is equal to 7.7942 m. Volume is equal to 1/3 h * B, B is equal to 19.2451 m2. perimeter of the base is 3*9 m equal to 27 meters. The lateral area has  a formula of 1/2 pl, substituting, lateral area is equal to 121.5 m2.

a scalene triangle has symmetry with respect to a line containing a median of the triangle . true or false
statuscvo [17]
Hi! Let me help you!
Before I answer your question, I should first introduce you to triangles! There ae three triangles: Isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle, and scalene triangle. If I remember it right, isosceles triangles have at least one line of symmetry; an equilater triangle must have three lines of symmetry; a scalene triangle HAS NO line of symmetry.

Now, to answer your question: the answer is FALSE. Scalene triangles have no line of symmetry.

I hope this helped you!
