Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).
(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22 Get rid of the parentheses
x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22 Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
3x - 4 = -22 Add 4 to both sides
3x = -18 Divide
x = -6
Check you work.
x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2
(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22
So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .
Answer:
2x + y = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8x + 4y = - 24 ( divide each term by 4 )
2x + y = - 6 ← is an equivalent equation
The vertex is (-1,1)
Explanation
The vertex formula to find the x coordinate of the formula is -b/2a
So we plug in the values into the formula which is
-4/2(2)
Simplify it
-4/4
=-1
-1 is now the x cord of the vertex.
So now we will plug in the x into the quadratic equation which is 2x^2+4x+3
2(-1)^2 + 4(-1) + 3 = 2 -4 +3
Simplify it
5 - 4= 1
Y=1
So the Coordinates of the vertex is (-1,1)
