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.

Answer:

12.699

Step-by-step explanation:

i think if you do 26-22.4, you get the leg of the small triangle which is 3.6

then do Pythagorean theorem

3.6^2 + x^2 = 13.2^2

12.96 +x^2 = 174.24

174.24-12.96

x^2 = 161.28

take square root

x = 12.699

X Find the value of x. Show 3 10 your work.

pickupchik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, there!!!

Let ABC be a Right angled triangle, 

where, AB = 3

BC= 10

and AC= x

now,

As the triangle is a Right angled triangle, taking angle C asrefrence angle. we get,

 h= AC = x

p= AB = 3

b= BC= 10

now, by Pythagoras relation we get, 

 $h = \sqrt{ {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} }$ 

 $or ,\: h = \sqrt{ {3}^{2} + {10}^{2} }$ 

by simplifying it we get, 

h = 10.44030

Therefore, the answer is x= 10.

Hope it helps...

Which graph is the linear function that has a slope of 1/3 and contains the point (- 2, - 4) ?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Option 1 (The last one, bottom right)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start at the origin and go 2 to the left and 4 down, you will reach a point. We can test the slope by using rise over run from one point to another. It goes up 1 and three across which is true in this case.
