Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4

so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86

Whats the circumference of a circle with a radius of 21 meters
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

C =131.88 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = 2*pi*r

where r is the radius

C = 2 * pi * 21

C = 42 pi

If we approximate pi by 3.14

C = 42(3.14)

C =131.88 meters

Find XS, VY, and YZ. I am very confused on what to do.​
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Do you see the lines and how they are named? I am going to try and explain this in less words than I can. Where it says XS you have to match it up with the lines. But if it says that you have to find XSU (which it does not) you would have to go up all the way but you stop where it says the S so you wont go all  the way up to the U. I hope this helps!
