Bearing in mind that, if you multiply, any integer whatsoever by 2, you end up with a even integer, 17*2, or 19*2, 88*2 you name it, you get an even number
now, you can get an odd integer by simply going from an even integer, back or forth, so if you have an even number of say 24, 24 - 1, 23, 24+1, 25, 23 and 25 are the odd ones next to 24
so.. let's pick some number, let's say hmm "a", we know 2*a is even, so 2a, thus, 2a +1 or 2a -1 is an odd one.... let's use hmm 2a + 1 as our first odd integer
to jump from an odd integer to another, you simply add 2, 3+2, 5, 5+2, 7 and so on
so... our first one is 2a + 1, so the next consecutive one, will then be (2a+1)+2
and next consecutive after that is (2a+1+2)+2
so our three consecutive odd integers are then
2a + 1
2a + 3
2a + 5
now, 4 times the middle is 4(2a+3)
the sum of the first and last is (2a+1) + (2a+5)
now, two more than that is just (2a+1) + (2a+5) + 2
thus
4(2a + 3) = (2a + 1) + (2a + 5) + 2
solve for "a"
Answer:
- 90/11
Step-by-step explanation:
- Multiply 8 with 11 = 88
- Add that with 2 = 90
- That is your nominator and 11 is denominator.
- Because the faction is negative, put a negative sign.
2 rows of 18 chairs are blue so that is 36 chairs. then 4 rows of 12 chairs are blue so that is 48 chairs 36 plus 48 is 84 total blue chairs
4/7. Divide the numerator and denominator by 15.
Answer:
-k² - (7k - 5n) + 9n
-(-1)² - [7(-1) - 5(-2)] + 9(-2)
-1 - [-7 - (-10)] - 18
-1 - 3 - 18
= -22
