The integers are -8 and -6.

To find these, first assume that the first integer is x. Then, because it is an even integer, assume the next is x + 2. Now we can write an equation to solve.

Tripling the greater = subtracting 10 from the lesser

3(x + 2) = x - 10 ----> Distribute the 3

3x + 6 = x - 10 ----> Subtract x from both sides

2x + 6 = -10 ----> Subtract 6 from both sides

2x = -16 ----> Divide both sides by 2

x = -8

Which is the first integer. We then can determine that the second one, which is two higher than the first, would be -6.

Answer:

726

Step-by-step explanation:

Here p = k / q², and 24 = k / 121, or k = 2904

Then p = 2904 / q²

If q = 2, p = 2904 /4 = 726

irrational

Since π is an irrational number, it would make 3π/9 an irrational number too since multiplying or dividing by pi makes the answer an irrational number.
