Answer:

The smallest of the integers is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be x, y and z

From the question, the integers are consecutive odd integers.

Hence,

If the smallest of the integers is x and the largest is z, then we can write that,

x + 2 = y and

y + 2 = z

Then, x + 2 + 2 = z

∴ x + 4 = z ....... (1)

From the question, four times the smallest decreased by 5 is the same as the largest increased by 12, that is

4x -5 = z + 12 ....... (2)

Put the value of z = x + 4 in equation (1) into equation (2),

We then get

4x - 5 = x + 4 + 12

4x - x = 4 + 12 + 5

3x = 21

x = 7

Hence, the smallest of the integers is 7

The other integers are 9 and 11 ( y= 9 and z = 11)

There are 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 atoms in 1 gram of oxygen. How many atoms are there in 600 grams of oxygen? Write your an
tatiyna

Answer:

<u>2.256 x 10 to the power of 25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 atoms in 1 gram of oxygen

So, there are x atoms in 600 grams of oxygen

Using the ratio and proportional

So, the number of atoms = 600 * 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 =

                                          = 6*10^2 * 3.76 * 10^{22}\\=6*3.76 * 10^2*10^{22}\\=22.56 * 10^{24}\\=2.256 * 10 * 10^{24}\\=2.256 * 10^{25}

So, the answer in scientific notation as A.BCD x 10 to the power of E

Will be <u>2.256 x 10 to the power of 25</u>

A coupon subtracts $5.16 from the price (p) of a shirt. You pay $15.48 for the shirt after using the coupon. Write and solve an
lbvjy [14]

The equation would look like: p - 5.16 = 15.48

because the coupon subtracts 5.16 from p and the price you pay is 15.48

Solve the equation by adding 5.16 to both sides

p = 20.64

The original price of the shirt is $20.64
