Answer:

The largest even integer is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Let The first even number = 2 x

The second even number = (2 x + 2)

The third even number = (2 x + 4)

The fourth even number = (2 x + 6)

<u>According to question</u>

sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Or, 2 x + (2 x + 2) + (2 x + 4) + (2 x + 6) = - 12

Or, (2 x + 2 x + 2 x + 2 x) + (2 + 4 + 6) = - 12

Or, 8 x + 12 = - 12

Or, 8 x = - 12 - 12

Or, 8 x = - 24

∴  x = \frac{- 24}{8}

i.e  x = - 3

now, putting the value of x

The first even number = 2 × - 3 = - 6

The second even number = (2 × - 3 + 2) = - 6 + 2 = - 4

The third even number = (2 × - 3 + 4) = - 6 + 4 = - 2

The fourth even number = (2 × - 3 + 6) = - 6 + 6 = 0

So, The largest even integer = 0

Hence, The largest even integer is 0  Answer

bastic corporation purchased industrial furnaces for $4015 less 36% and 24%. determine the markup on cost give a regular selling
Aliun [14]
The markup percentage is .40778 -> 40.778% 
$4015 = current price ;  $2852 = original price

To find the mark up percentage:
First, find the difference between the current price and original price.

$4015 - $2852 = $1163

Second, divide the price difference by the current price to get the percentage.
1163/2852 = .40778

Check the math by multiplying the original price by the markup percentage and add the original price to it.

$2852 X .40778 + $2852 = $4015

One uranium atom has a diameter of 3.5x10^-8 centimeters. What is the sum of 10,000 uranium atoms'
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

3.5 * 10^-4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have one uranium atom having a diameter of 3.5 * 10^-8 centimeters.

We now want to find the sum of 10,000 uranium atoms diameters

Mathematically;

That would be ;

3.5 * 10^-8 * 10,000

But 10,000 = 10^4

Thus, we have

3.5 * 10^-8 * 10^4

= 3.5 * 10^-4 centimeters
