find three consecutive even integers so that the twice the sum of the second and third is twelve less than six times the first

zysi [14]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]

twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12

The equation:

2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12

2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12

2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 use distributive property

(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12

4n + 12 = 6n - 12 subtract 12 from both sides

4n = 6n - 24 subtract 6n from both sides

-2n = -24 divide both sides by (-2)

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>

Which could be the first step in simplifying this expression? Check all that apply. (x cubed x Superscript negative 6 Baseline)

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$(x^{-3} )^{2}$

$x^6 x^{-12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$ is the expression given to be solved.

First of all let us have a look at 3 formulas:

$1.\ p^a \times p^b = p^{(a+b)}\\2.\ (p^a \times q^b)^c = (p^{a})^c \times (q^{b})^c\\3.\ (p^a)^b = p^{a\times b}$

Both the formula can be applied to the expression( $(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$ ) during the first step while solving it.

Applying formula (1):

$(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$

Comparing the terms of $(x^{3} x^{-6} )$ with $p^a \times p^b$

$p=x, a =3, b=-6$

$\Rightarrow x^{3+(-6)}\\\Rightarrow x^{3-6}\\\Rightarrow x^{-3}$

So, $(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$ is reduced to $(x^{-3} )^{2}$

Applying formula (2):

Comparing the terms of $(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$ with $(p^a \times q^b)^c$

$p=q=x, a =3, b=-6, c=2$

$\Rightarrow (x^{3})^2\times (x^{-6})^2\\\text{Applying Formula (3)}\\x^6 x^{-12}$

So, $(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}$ is reduced to $x^6 x^{-12}$ .

So, the answers can be:

$(x^{-3} )^{2}$

$x^6 x^{-12}$

Maggie needs to spend at least six hours each week practicing the piano. She has already practiced 3

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

t ≥ 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take time for practicing the piano to be t

The number of hours to practice per week should be at least 6 hours

This is written as t ≥ 6

She already practiced 3 hours this week, thus the remaining hours to practice should be

t ≥ 3

The minimum remaining hours to practice for the remaining 2 days should be

t=3

If these hours are evenly divided, then in a single day she should practice

for t ≥ 1.5
