Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation: well there is a pretty easy explanation for this because what you pretty much do is you put the answer around by doing 5-2 and just put a negative since the smaller number is in the front.
Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the integers as:
x
x+1
x+2
The sum of their squares, so that would be;
(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509
write out the squares
x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509
combine like terms
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
inverse operations
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
-5 -5
3x^2 + 6x = 504
factor
3x^2 + 6x = 504
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504
Inverse operations
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504
/3 /3
x^2 + 2x = 168
Factor again
x ( x + 2 ) = 168
At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)
So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers
x = 12
x + 1 = 13
x + 2 = 14
Answer:
1.) Gallon
2.) Pound
3.) Foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps :)
Problem # 1
3w-10=4w+5
(3w-10) + (10-4w) = (4w+5) + (10-4w)
(3w-10) + (-4w+10) = (4w+5) + (-4w +10)
3w-10-4w+10 = 4w +5 -4w +10
3w-4w=15
-w=15
w= -15 (w is negative 15)
problem #2.
6-2t > 18
6-2t-6 > 18-6
-2t > 12
(-1) (-2t) > 12 (-1)
2t > -12
next divide by 2
2t/2 > -12/2
t > -6 (t is greater then negative 6)
