Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).
(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22 Get rid of the parentheses
x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22 Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
3x - 4 = -22 Add 4 to both sides
3x = -18 Divide
x = -6
Check you work.
x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2
(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22
So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .
Rounded to the nearest whole number it would be 13
She can read 55 pages per hour
So, divide that by 2 to get 27.5
She can read 27.5 pages in the next 30 Min.
(She would be on page 137.5 :p)
Hope this helps!!
Use slope formula:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
-1/4 = 6-2 / 1/2 - x
-1/4 = 4 / 1/2 - x
-1(1/2 - x) = 4(4)
-1/2 + x = 16
x = 16 1/2 or 33/2
Answer: the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
ds/dt = 45 mph = 45 × 5280/3600 = 66 ft/sec
no we have to determine dx/dt
so
cos∅ = dx/dt / ds/dt
cos45° = dx/dt / 66
dx/dt = 0.7071 × 66
dx/dt = 46.6686 ≈ 47 ft/s ( as altitude is decreasing, its negative - )
so the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s
