3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30

x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26

so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30

Since they are consecutive even integers, they would differ by 2.

Let the first even integer be x.

x , x + 2,  x + 4

Sum = -84

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -84

x + x + x + 2 + 4 = -84

3x + 6 = -84

3x = -84 - 6

3x = -90

x = -90/3

x = -30

Hence the even integers are:  x,  x + 2 , x + 4

-30,  -30 + 2,  -30 + 2 + 2

-30,  -28, -26

Hence the consecutive even integers are: -30,  -28, -26

AB Complementary<br><br> SinA = 4/5 find Cos b​
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

cos\:b = \frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that: a and b are complementary.

\therefore a + b = 90\degree\\\\\therefore a = 90\degree - b\\\\Assuming\: sin \: ratio \: on\: both\: sides\\\\sin\:a = sin(90\degree - b)\\\\\therefore \frac{4}{5} = sin(90\degree - b)...(\because sin\:a = \frac{4}{5})\\\therefore \frac{4}{5} =cos\:b...\{\because sin(90\degree - \theta) = cos\: \theta\} \\\\\huge\purple{\boxed{\therefore cos\:b = \frac{4}{5}}}\\

Ava earns $ 3 for every cup of lemonade she sells How many cups of lemonade does Ava need to sell in all to earn $ 24?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Ava needs to sell 8 cups of lemonade to earn $24.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually just a simple multiplication question. How many times do we need to multiply 3 to get 24? 3 x 8 is 24, and therefore we can conclude Ava needs to sell 8 cups of lemonade to earn $24.

Which expression is equivalent to 5.4+3.4w-1.8w +5.8 A) 7(1.6+w) B) 1.6(7+w) C) 1.6(7w) D) 1.6(0.25+w)
Bad White [126]
Do 5.4 plus 5.8 then do 3.4w minus 1.8w and whatever you get for each is your key to the expression. So if you were to solve the answers like A you would do 7(1.6+w) and see what you would get. Obviously A isn't the answer. Sorry, this is hard to explain. But the answer is C
