I did this last year the answer is 9.5
Well, in the first one, 2 degrees below zero is -2 degrees, and then it says that it dropped 14 degrees, which means it dropped -14 degrees, so to know the total amount it dropped you would just have to add -2 plus -14 which is -16 degrees, so your answer for the first question would be the last answer, -16 degrees.
For the second question, just know that whenever a negative number is BY ITSELF in parentheses, that means it is used like a positive number in the equation. So (-12) automatically becomes 12. Now, since the problem is asking for a SUM, (the answer to an ADDITION problem; when you add instead of subtract), you would turn that minus symbol to a plus symbol, and add normally to get your final answer; 30 + 12 = 42. To check if this is correct, just type in <span>30 – (–12) to a calculator and you'll get the same answer! :D
Hope this helps! :3</span>
47.12 is the answer please mark as brainliest
Step-by-step explanation:
A: Andrew has 45 bricks and he uses 1/3 of them to build his house. He then divides the amount of bricks he has by 1/6 for his friend to have to build his shed. He all together needs to buy 272 bricks.
B:I honest to God don't know what that would be
C:45 is the number of bricks Andrew currently has. He only needs 1/3 of them and he needs 1/6 of that for his friend
Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are: -15, -13, and -11 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39 ;
_____________________________________________
in which "x" is one of the integers,
"(x + 2)" is the next consecutive odd integer;
"(x + 4)" is the third consecutive odd integer.
__________________________________________
By solving for "x", we can solve for each of three (3) consecutive odd integers.
________________________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -39 ;
_________________________________________________________
1x + 1x + 2 + 1x+ 4 = -39 ;
_____________________________________________________
3x + 6 = -39 ;
______________________________________________
Subtract "6" from EACH side of the equation:
______________________________________________
3x + 6 − 6 = -39 <span>− 6 ;
____________________________________________________
to get: 3x = -45 ;
____________________________________________________
Divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
____________________________________________________
3x / 3 = -45 / 3 ;
_____________________________________________________
to get: x = -15 ;
______________________________________________________
x + 2 = -15 + 2 = -13 ;
_______________________________________________________
x + 4 = -15 + 4 = -11 .
___________________________________________________
Are: -15, -13, and -11 ; Consecutive odd integers? YES!
___________________________________________________
Does: -15 + (-13) + (-11) =? = -39 ??
_____________________________________________________
-15 </span>− 13 <span>− 11 = ? 39 ?? YES!
____________________________________________________
Answer: The three consecutive odd integers are: -15, -13, and -11.
