Answer:

-21. -19.-17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smallest

x+2 next smallest

x+4 be the largest

4*(x) = 18+6(x+4)

Distribute

4x = 18+6x+24

Combine like terms

4x = 42+6x

Subtract 6x from each side

-2x = 42

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 42/-2

x = -21

x+2 = -19

x+4 = -17

Answer:

- 21, - 19, - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the smallest no.

& y + 2 next smallest no.

& y + 4 be the largest no.

= 4 * (y) = 18 + 6 * (y + 4)

4y = 18 + 6y + 24

4y - 6y = 42

- 2y = 42

= - 21

The other 2 numbers are:

y + 2

= - 19

y + 4

= - 17

Hope this helps!

\bf (2x+3)^5\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(2x)^5(+3)^0\\
2&+5&(2x)^4(+3)^1\\
3&+10&(2x)^3(+3)^2\\
4&+10&(2x)^2(+3)^3\\
5&+5&(2x)^1(+3)^4\\
6&+1&(2x)^0(+3)^5
\end{array}

as you can see, the terms exponents, for the first term, starts at highest, 5 in this case, then every element it goes down by 1, till it gets to 0

for the second term, starts at 0, and every element it goes up by 1, till it gets to the highest

now, to get the coefficient, they way I get it, is "the product of the current coefficient and the exponent of the first term, divided by the exponent of the second term plus 1"

notice the first coefficient is always 1

so...how did we get 10 for the 3rd element?  well, 5*4/2
how did we get 10 for the fourth element?  well, 10*2/4


\bf (2x-3y)^4\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(2x)^4(-3y)^0\\
2&+4&(2x)^3(-3y)^1\\
3&+6&(2x)^2(-3y)^2\\
4&+4&(2x)^1(-3y)^3\\
5&+1&(2x)^0(-3y)^4
\end{array}


\bf (3a+4b)^8\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(3a)^8(+4b)^0\\
2&+8&(3a)^7(+4b)^1\\
3&+28&(3a)^6(+4b)^2\\
4&+56&(3a)^5(+4b)^3\\
5&+70&(3a)^4(+4b)^4\\
6&+56&(3a)^3(+4b)^5\\
7&+28&(3a)^2(+4b)^6\\
8&+8&(3a)^1(+4b)^7\\
9&+1&(3a)^0(+4b)^8
\end{array}

and from there, you can simplify the elements of the expansion by combining the coefficients

like for example, the 7th element of (3a+4b)⁸ will then be 1032192a²b⁶

What 3 consecutive integers equal 84
Murrr4er [49]

First represent your 3 consecutive integers as follows.

X ⇒ <em>first integer</em>

X + 1 ⇒ <em>second integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>third integer</em>

<em />

Since their sum is 84, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 84.

Simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 84.

Now subtract 3 from both sides to get 3x = 81.

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that <em>x = 27</em>.

Finally, make sure you list all your answers.

If <em>x </em>is 27 then <em>x </em>+ 1 is 28 and <em>x </em>+ 2 is 29.
