We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

find three consecutive even integers so that the twice the sum of the second and third is twelve less than six times the first
zysi [14]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]

twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12

The equation:

2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12

2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12

2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12       <em>use distributive property</em>

(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12

4n + 12 = 6n - 12       <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

4n = 6n - 24       <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>

-2n = -24        <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>

Answer:

The correct answer is third option

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

4ˣ = 8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

<u>To find the value of x</u>

4ˣ  = (2²)ˣ

8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾ = (2³)⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

4ˣ = 8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

(2²)ˣ =  (2³)⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

2²ˣ = 2⁽³ˣ ⁻ ³⁾

2x = 3x - 3

3x - 2x = 3

x = 3

The correct answer is third option

x = 3

The first thing you want to do is to multiply both sides by 4:

3x=-24

Next you need to divide by 3:

x=-8
