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.

13, what is the probability that the coin lands on heads the first two times and lands on tales third
lozanna [386]

Answer: The probability is 1/8

Explanation:

Probability is a ratio of the number of relevant outcomes and total number of possible outcomes.

We are flipping the coin three times.

The number of relevant outcomes is 1 (one triple {Head, Head, Tail})

The number of all possible outcomes is the product of 2 possibilities (Head or Tail) on first toss, times another 2 on second, times another 2 on third, so 2^3 = 8.

The probability P = 1/8

Answer:

7.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c² + 0.1c - 24 ← substitute c = - 5.7 into the expression

= (- 5.7)² + 0.1(- 5.7) - 24

= 32.49 - 0.57 - 24

= 31.92 - 24

= 7.92

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.
Reika [66]
Using SOH CAH TOA, you have the Opposite side and you need to work out the Hypotenuse so you will use SOH. This means that the opposite divided by the sine of the angle is the hypotenuse: 18/sin(35) = x = 31.4
