The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers be;

x, x+2, x+4

According to given statement;

$x+(x+4)=x+2+(-14)\\x+x+4=x+2-14\\2x+4=x-12\\\\2x-x=-12-4\\x=-16$

The values are as follow;

$-16,\ -16+2,\ -16+4\\-16, -14, -12$

The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

if a car travels 370.3 miles on 52 liters of gas, how many liters of.gas.will take to go 722 miles.if the car travels at the sam

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

101.4 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we will find mileage of car.

$\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total amount of fuel}}$

$\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{370.3\text{ miles}}{52\text{ liters gas}}$

$\text{Mileage of car}=7.12115\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ liters gas}}$

We can see that car travels at the rate of 7.12 miles per liter gas. Now let us find amount of gas needed to travel 722 miles at the same rate.

$\text{Amount of gas needed}=\frac{722}{7.12}$

$\text{Amount of gas needed}=101.388$

Therefore, it will take 101.4 liters of gas to travel 722 miles.

What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (−3, −4) and (0, 2)?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we do (Y1 - Y2)/(X1-X2) aka rise over run

So, m = (-4 - 2) / (-3 - 0)

m = 2

Now we have y = 2x +b

Notice one of our points is (0,2)

Since the x value of that point is 0, it is the y intercept.

In the slope intercept form b = y-intercept

Therefore b = 2

So, y = 2x + 2

The table represents a function. What is the value of f(–1)?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer : C

we need to the value of f(–1)

Table is given in the question

From the table ,

f(x) = 4 when x= -5, that is f(-5) = 4

f(x) = 0 when x= -1, that is f(-1) =0

f(x)= -1 when x=6, that is f(6) = -1

f(x)= -3 when x=9, that is f(9) = -3

So, the value of f(–1) = 0
