6 times the sum of 3 consecutive odd intergers is -18

Lyrx [107]

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!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved this using initial conditions and calculus, so I hope that's what you are doing in math. It's actually NOT calculus, just a concept that is taught in calculus.

The initial condition formula we need is

$y=Ce^{kt}$

Filling in our formula with the 2 conditions we are given:

$65=Ce^{10k}$ and $85=Ce^{15k}$

With those 2 equations, we have 2 unknowns, the C (initial value) and the k (the constant). We know that the initial value (or starting temp) for both conditions is the same, so we solve for C in one equation, sub it into the other equation and solve for k. If

$65=Ce^{10k}$ then

$\frac{65}{e^{10k}}=C$ which, by exponential rules is the same as

$C=65e^{-10k}$

Since that value of C is the same as the value of C in the other equation, we sub it in:

$85=65e^{-10k}(e^{15k})$

Divide both sides by 65 and use the rules of exponents again to get

$\frac{85}{65}=e^{-10k+15k}$ which simplifies down to

$\frac{85}{65}=e^{5k}$

Take the natural log of both sides to get

$ln(\frac{85}{65})=5k$

Do the log thing on your calculator to get

.2682639866 = 5k and divide both sides by 5 to find k:

k = .0536527973

Now that we have k, we sub THAT value in to one of the original equations to find C:

$65=Ce^{10(.0536527973)}$

which simplifies down to

$65=Ce^{.536527973}$

Raise e to that power on your calculator to get

65 = C(1.710059171) and divide to solve for C:

C = 38.01038064

Now sub in k and C to the final problem when t = 23:

$y=38.01038064e^{(.0536527973)(23)}$ which simplifies a bit to

$y=38.01038064e^{1.234014338}$

Raise e to that power on your calculator to get

y = 38.01038064(3.434991111) and

finally, the temp at 23 minutes is

a jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. if the jogger can run 5 miles downhill in the same time that it take

Serga [27]

Answer: the rate uphill is 6 mph.

The rate downhill is 10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate at which the jogger ran uphill.

The jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. This means that speed at which the jogger ran downhill is (x + 4) mph

Time = distance/speed

if the jogger can runs 5 miles downhill, then the time taken to run downhill is

5/(x + 4)

At the same time, the jogger runs 3 miles uphill. It means that the time taken to run uphill is

3/x

Since the time is the same, it means that

5/(x + 4) = 3/x

Cross multiplying, it becomes

5 × x = 3(x + 4)

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The rate downhill is 6 + 4 = 10 mph
