Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
Let's consider the expression (x-y)^2. It expands out to x^2-2xy+y^2. The terms are:
Each of those terms either has a single variable with an exponent of 2, or has the exponents add to 2. Think of 2xy as 2x^1y^1.
In short, this means that the degree of each monomial term is 2.
----------
Now consider (x-y)^3. It expands out into x^3-3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3.
We have terms that either have a single variable and the exponent is 3, or the exponents add to 3. The degree of each term is 3.
----------
This pattern continues.
In general, for (x-y)^n, where n is any positive whole number, the degree of each term in the expansion is n. If you picked any term, added the exponents, then the exponents will add to n.
Answer:
14,16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first even number.
Let y be the 2nd even number.
Given, y - x = 2 (Since they are 2 consecutive even numbers.)
rearranging the equation: y = x+2 (equation 1)
Also given,
(equation 2)
Now we can substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to find x.

Given the smaller even number x, is 14, we will substitute x into equation1 to find y, the bigger even number.
y = 14+2
= 16
Therefore the 2 numbers are 14 and 16.
Every time x is added by one, y is added by three.
