Two times the least of three consecutive odd integers exceeds three times the greatest by 15

Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.

Times the two radicals together

So it's:

8*sqrt 15*5 (find common numbers between 5 and 15 which is 5)

8*sqrt(5^2*3)

8*5 sqrt3

40 sqrt 3

Hope this helped :)

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed. If there are 200 color copies printed how many blac

Answer:

<u>900</u> black and white copies are printed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Now, to find the number of black and white copies are printed.

Let the number of black and white copies printed be $x.$

As given, for every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

So, 9 is equivalent to 2.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Thus, $x$ is equivalent to 200.

Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{9}{2} =\frac{x}{200}$

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

$1800=2x$

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

$900=x$

$x=900.$

Therefore, 900 black and white copies are printed.
