the correct question is
The product of two consecutive even integers is 120. Find the integers

let
x-----------> first even integer
x+2-------> second consecutive even integer

we know that
x*(x+2)=120-------> x²+2x-120=0

using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is
x=10

therefore
first even integer is 10
second consecutive even integer is (10+2)----> 12

the answer is
10 and 12

I think it is, I have no clue.

Here's some examples though, 5 example of not well defined sets: - Number of fire damages. - Number of reported crime scenes. ... - Numbers of illegal settlers.

Estamate 12871+6281+5146 by first rounding each number to the nearest thousand.

Pie

12,871 rounded to nearest thousand = 13,000.

6281 rounded to nearest thousand = 6,000.

5146 rounded to nearest thousand = 5,000.

In total, 13,000 + 6,000 + 5,000 = 24,000.

Hello there.

There are 24 pizzas. each person gets 1/3 of a pizza. how many people can be fed from the 24 pizzas?

Answer: There are 3 thirds in a whole.
Therefore 3 people could be fed by 1 pizza.
Since there are 24 , multiply 3 by 24.
3 x 24 = 72.
The number of people that could be fed from the 24 pizzas is 72.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^

Make X the subject of the formula will mark brainliest!!

Answer:

$y = \frac{x + 2}{x - 4} \\ xy - 4y = x + 2 \\ xy - x = 4y + 2 \\ x(y - 1) = 4y + 2 \\ x = \frac{4y + 2}{y - 1} \\ \boxed{x = \frac{2(2y + 1)}{y - 1} }$
