I don't know how your teacher chooses to solve this problem (or your text) but I do it this way.
Divide 81 by 3. You get 27.
Use 27 as your middle integer and go one odd integer up and down for the other 2.
25, 27, 29
the largest would be 29.
This works because 3 of the middle number equals 81, so the middle number plus a number 2 greater and a number 2 less would still be the same as adding 3 of the same number.
Check by adding the 3 numbers.
25 + 27 + 29 = 81
Answer:
(x - 8) (x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find what adds to -12 but multiplies to 32
(x - 8) (x - 4)
Because of the order of operation, you would first do the division, which makes the expression 8-6+3. Now you would perform them left to right, first into 2+3, then get your answer of 5.
Answer:
it would be 0.01530612244
