Give a direct proof that the sum an even integer and an odd integer is odd.

1 answer:

5 0

Even integer: 2 x a, where a is a natural number without 0;
Odd integer : 2 x b + 1 , where b is a natural number;
So, 2 x a + 2 x b+ 1 = 2 x ( a + b ) + 1, which is an odd integer.

4x² = 32 What does x equal

babymother [125]

So here is what you would do:

lets just pretend that there is no x in the equation

so this is what the equation would look like:

first, is 4 to the power of 2=16 and now we are going to put the x back into the equation so: 4x to the power of 2, but we did the exponents so, now x is the missing number. We can use the 32 because it is the solution to the equation. So we would do 32-16=16 so the missing number is 16 so x=16

Answer: x=16
