3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30
x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26
so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 3 = (-9)² + 3 { (-9)² = -9 *-9 = 81}
= 81 + 3
= 84
x + 6 = -9 + 6 = -3
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question used in answering this question :
Three-fourths of the boats in the marina are white. 4/7 of the remaining boats are blue , and the rest are red . If there are 9red boats, how many boats are in the marina?
We first have to determine the fraction of the boats that are red
1 - (
+
)
1 - 
1 - 
1 - 1
= 9/28
so, 9/28 of the boats are red
let b represent the total number of boats
9/28 x b = 9
to find b, divide both sides of the equation by 28/9
b = 28
