The sum of three consecutive odd integers is –15. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

3 0

Odd numbers are represented as 2n+1 where 2 is a natural number ( negative and possitive whole numbers)

consecutive odd numbers are 2 away from each other so 3 consecutive odd numbers would be
(2n+1),(2n+1+2),(2n+1+2+2)
the all add to -15 so they must all be negative
2n+1+2n+1+2+2n+1+2+2=-15
add like terms
6n+9=-15
subtract 9 from both sides
6n=-24
divide both sides by 6
n=-4
subsitute
first number=2n+1=2(-4)+1=-8+1=-7
second number=2n+1+2=2(-4)+3=-8+3=-5
third number=2n+1+2+2=-8+5=-3

the numbers are -7,-5, -3
the answe ris B

2.34 x 10^65 + 9.2 x10^66

vivado [14]

Answer:

9.434 X 10^66

Step-by-step explanation:

2.34 X 10^65 + 9.2 X 10^66 (First, you have to manipulate the exponents to bring them to the same index, i.e. the same power)

We can say that 2.34 X 10^65 = 0.234 X 10^66

Now that the indexes are equivalent, we can proceed to add the two bases together.

0.234 X 10^66 + 9.2 X 10^66

= (0.234 + 9.2) X 10^66

= 9.434 X 10^66

A bag contains 8 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 6 blue marbles. find P (red or blue)

vlabodo [156]

I'm assuming you're supposed to find the chance of them drawing red or blue/
So the whole is 20, and red and blue combined is 14.So its 14/20, which is 70%, and as a simplified fraction it is 7/10.

Here is a triangular pyramid and its net.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a) Area of the base of the pyramid = $15.6\ mm^{2}$

b) Area of one lateral face = $24\ mm^{2}$

c) Lateral Surface Area = $72\ mm^{2}$

d) Total Surface Area = $87.6\ mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following dimensions of the triangular pyramid:

Side of triangular base = 6mm

Height of triangular base = 5.2mm

Base of lateral face (triangular) = 6mm

Height of lateral face (triangular) = 8mm

a) To find Area of base of pyramid:

We know that it is a triangular pyramid and the base is a equilateral triangle. $\text{Area of triangle = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} ..... (1)\\$
