Answer:

<h3>            9, 10 and 11</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the smallest of three consecutive integers (the first)

x+1 - the next of three consecutive integers (the second)

x+2 - the last of three consecutive integers (the third)

3(x+2) - three times the third integer

<u>3(x+2)+x </u> - three times the third increased by the first

5(x+1)   - five times the second tnteger

<u>5(x+1)-8 </u>  - 8 less than five times the second

3(x + 2) + x = 5(x + 1) - 8

3x + 6 + x = 5x + 5 - 8

   4x + 6 = 5x - 3

       -4x        -4x

        6 = x - 3

         x = 9

x+1 = 10

x+2 = 11

Check:  3×11+9 = 33+9 = <u>42</u>,   5×10-8=50-8 = <u>42</u>

Answer:

a) 4⁻³ = 1/64 = 0.015625

b)13⁻² = 1/169 = 0.0059171598

c)(-3)⁻² = 1/-3² = 0.1111111111

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question above, when we have an integer ( positive or negative) that is raised to a negative power, this means the reciprocal of that integer raised to the positive power

Example:

a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

a) 4⁻³ = 1/4³

= 1/(4 × 4 × 4)

= 1/64

= 0.015625

b) 13⁻² = 1/13²

= 1/(13 × 13)

= 1/169

= 0.0059171598

c)(-3)⁻² = 1/-3²

= 1/(-3 × -3)

= 1/9

= 0.1111111111
