The answer is either: (im making you choose)
-100
or
100
You multiply -10 by itself to get the correct answer
Dont forget about the signs
Number of bicycles is 15
number of go karts is 6
The answer is no ... Thats the correct answer
Consecutive means in order. So let's call the first integer x. The next number in line would be x+1 and the largest integer would be x+2. Let's prove that so you're not confused. If x is 3, then x+1 is 4 (next in line), and x+2 is 5 next after that. See? So if we add all those together we set them equal to 267 and solve for x: x + x+1 + x+2 = 267. Combining like terms gives us 3x + 3 = 267 and 3x = 264. Now dividing both sides by 3 we get that x = 88. That's the smallest integer; the largest is found by adding 88 + 2 which is 90. So that means that the numbers are 88, 89, 90, and that adding them up = 267. Let's check that now: 88+89+90=267 so we're good.
F(x) = x^2 - 3x
f(-8) = (-8)^2 - 3(-8)
f(-8) = 16 - (-24)
f(-8) = 16 + 24
f(-8) = 40 (Answer)
