(2n +1) + (2n + 3) + (2n + 5) = 51
6n + 9 = 51
6n = 42
n = 7
numbers are 15 17 and 19

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b are two integers.

We have to show that

if 3\a+b then 3\a-b is false.

In order to prove that given statement is false we prove this with the help of example

Suppose we have two integers a=2 and b=4

if 3\2+4

3\6=2

2-4=-2

But 3 does not divide -2.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Hence, proved.

How many times larger is 8*10^6 than 2*10^2

bogdanovich [222]

The first step for solving this question is put both of your given expressions into one and then subtract them. This will look like the following:
8 × $10^{6}$ - 2 × 10²]
Now to make the calculation easier,, factor the expression.
(8 × $10^{4}$ - 2) × 10²
Evaluate the power inside the parenthesis.
(8 × 10000 - 2) × 10²
Evaluate the power outside the parenthesis.
(8 × 10000 - 2) × 100
Multiply the numbers inside the parenthesis.
(80000 - 2) × 100
Subtract the numbers in the parenthesis.
79998 × 100
Lastly,, multiply the numbers together to get your final answer.
7999800
This means that 8 × $10^{6}$ is 7999800 times larger than 2 × 10².
Let me know if you have any further questions.
