n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 2) + 16 |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(2) + 16

3n = 2n + 4 + 16

3n = 2n + 20 |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 20

n + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

Answer: 20, 22.

A candy store called "Sugar" built a giant hollow sugar cube out of wood to hang above the entrance to their store. It took 13.5

Answer:

$\frac{27}{8}m^3$ or $3.375m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume is Base * Height * Width; and the formula for area is Base * Height.

This problem mentions the structure is a cube and therefore it is assumed that every wall has the same area. Since there are 6 sides to a cube you divide the total amount of ft which make up this cube to know the area to each wall.

$13.5 m/6$ = 2.25 or $\frac{9}{4} m$ per wall

With the area of each wall you can find the base and height:

base * height = area

$b=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4} } = \frac{3}{2}$

base = $\frac{3}{2}$ m

height = $\frac{3}{2}$ m

since: base=height=width, the width also equals $\frac{3}{2}$ m

volume = $(\frac{3}{2})^3$ = $\frac{27}{8}$

Graph the exponential function.<br> f(x)= -(5/2)^x

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your spreadsheet or graphing calculator can do this for you.

If you want to do it by hand, pick a few values for x, compute the corresponding values of f(x), plot those points, and draw a smooth curve through them. You know the horizontal asymptote is y=0, and the whole graph is in the 3rd and 4th quadrants, since the exponential function has been reflected over the x-axis by the leading minus sign.

If you draw a tree to show the number of ways to spin a spinner with three regions twice, how many possibilitdies would there be

LenaWriter [7]

Answer: There would be 9 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of regions in the spinner = 3

if we spin the spinner twice, then by using fundamental principal of counting , the number of possibilities is given by :-

$3\times3=9$

Therefore, there would be 9 possibilities.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is a method to calculate the number of possibilities by multiplying the events together to get the total number of possibilities.
