Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two <em>even</em> consecutive integers is 114.

Let's let the first even integer be 2n, where n is <em>some</em> integer: it doesn't matter what n is, but if we multiply n by 2, we are certainly getting an even number. This is because any integer multiplied by 2 is even.

So, this means that the second number is 2n+2.

Their sum is 114. In other words:

(2n)+(2n+2)=114

Solve for n.

Combine like terms:

4n+2=114

Subtract 2 from both sides:

4n=112

Divide both sides by 4:

n=28

So, n is 28.

This means that the first number is 28(2) or 56.

And the second number is 58.

So, the smallest integer is 56.

And we're done!

ollegr [7]

Answer:

-36x^3 - 69x^2 - 34x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x + 5) (3x + 1) -3 (x + 1)

(4x + 5) (3x + 1) ( -3x - 1)

12x^2 + 4x + 15x +5

Combine like terms

12x^2 + 19x + 5 (-3x - 1)

-36x^3 -57x^2 - 15x^2 -5

Combine like terms

-36x^3 - 69x^2 - 34x - 5
