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

Find the area of the circle with the given radius or diameter. Use = 3.14. d = 10
valkas [14]
Formula for finding the area of a circle: A =  \pi r^2
We need to radius but we only have the diameter.

Luckily for us, if you have the diameter, you have the radius.
Because the radius is the diameter over 2.

10 / 2 = 5

Plug in the values.

A = (3.14)5^2
A = (3.14)25
A = 78.5

So, the answer is 78.5.
