Answer:

q = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x²-8x = 10 (divide both sides by -2)

x² + 4x = -5 (Apply completing the square method)

x² + 4x + (4/2)²= -5 + (4/2)²

x² + 4x + 2²= -5 + 2²    (reduce left hand side using a²+2ab+b² =  (a+b)² )

(x+2)² = -5 +4

(x+2)² = -1

(x+2)² + 1 = 0   (multiply both sides by -2)

(-2)(x+2)² + 1 (-2) = 0

-2[x - (-2)]² + (-2) = 0  ---> compare this with -2(x-p)² + q = 0

We can see that p = 2 and q = -2

The smallest of three consecutive integers is 24 less than the sum of the two larger integers. Find the three integers.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

21, 22, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct equations representing each piece of information.

Three consecutive integers are three numbers in a row, for example, 1, 2 and 3.

Let's let

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X = (Y + Z) - 24

We also know that

Y = X + 1

and Z = X + 2

We can now sub this information into the first equation. We do this so that we can have only one variable in the equation.

X = (X+1) + (X+2) - 24

now solve for x,

X = 2X + 3 - 24

X = 2X - 21

-X = - 21

X = 21

So, the integers are 21, 22, 23

PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST..................don't do it A
Ivahew [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

b.3n/2 = 7/2

6n = 14

n = 2 1/3

c.-x/2 + 6 = -13/4

-x/2 = -37/4

-4x = -74

x = 18 1/2

d.3x/10 = 2/5

15x = 20

x = 1 1/3

e.x/10 = -20/3

3x = -200

x = -66 2/3

f.269x/56 = 10

269x = 560

x = 2 22/269
