The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1"; 
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ;  to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ;  x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.  We know that "x = -3".
         Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.  So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
        Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
       Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?

The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.

6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

what is the quotient 5-x/x^2 3x-4 divided by x^2-2x-15/x^2 5x 4 in simplifed form state any restrictions on the varible
zheka24 [161]

The quotient when \frac{5-x}{x^2+3x-4} /\frac{x^2-2x - 15}{x^2+5x+4} in simplified form is \frac{-(x+1)}{(x-1)(x+3)}

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Given that equation:

\frac{5-x}{x^2+3x-4} /\frac{x^2-2x - 15}{x^2+5x+4}

=\frac{5-x}{(x+4)(x-1)} /\frac{(x-5)(x+3)}{(x+4)(x+1)} \\\\=\frac{5-x}{(x+4)(x-1)} * \frac{(x+4)(x+1)}{(x-5)(x+3)}\\\\\frac{-(x-5)}{(x+4)(x-1)} * \frac{(x+4)(x+1)}{(x-5)(x+3)}\\\\=\frac{-(x+1)}{(x-1)(x+3)}

The quotient when \frac{5-x}{x^2+3x-4} /\frac{x^2-2x - 15}{x^2+5x+4} in simplified form is \frac{-(x+1)}{(x-1)(x+3)}

HELP PLEASE MATH!! A company is testing tires for wear and tear. A given tire is said to either pass the test (P) or fail the te
Xelga [282]

Answer:

  PPF, PFF

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can list all the possible combinations. A couple of my favorite are a) use a binary counting sequence; b) use a gray code counting sequence.

Using the first method, the binary numbers 000 to 111 can be listed in numerical order as 000, <em>001</em>, 010, <em>011</em>, 100, 101, 110, 111. Letting 0=P and 1=F, the ones missing from your list are the ones in italics in my list.

Using the second method, we change the right-most character, then the middle one, and finally the left-most character so there is one change at a time: 000, <em>001</em>, <em>011</em>, 010, 110, 111, 101, 100.

After you have a list of all possible combinations, it is a simple matter to compare the given list to the list of possibilities to see which are missing.
