I don't understand.. but I think that I know why.. just give me a little more details about the question but here's my guess.:
It may be square root like the answer may be squared in order to answer a rectangular prism..
Or, it may be a power..
Sorry, I don't know if I was helping, but this is the best I could do b/c I don't know a lot about the problem
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1";
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ; to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ; x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer. We know that "x = -3".
Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer. So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
Is this an odd integer? Yes! Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
Is this an odd integer? Yes! Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?
The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.
6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

I believe the answer is A. 40.
Answer: 56 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 60+58+64+72=254 (Add the average of his family without including him)
a. 62x5=310 (The average times 5, cause there are 5 of them will get you the total number of inches)
b. 310-254=56 (Subtract the total number of the 5 of them with the 4 of them to find Bill's height)
you can check your answer by adding all their heights.
Answer:
B: 378 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
22 * 24 = 528
528 - (10 * 15) = 378
