Lets x is the 1st consecutive even integers
x +2 :the 2nd consecutive even integers
x +4: the 3rd consecutive even integers
So sum of all 3 equals -78 then
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = -78
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -78
Simplify
3x + 6 = -78
Subtract (-6) to both sides
3x +6 -6 = -78 - 6
Simplify
3x = -84
Divided both sides by 3
3x/3 = -84/3
x = -28
x + 2 = -28 + 2 = -26
x +4 = - 28 + 4 = -24
Double check: -28 + -26 + -24 = -78
So the three consecutive even integers are: -24, -26, -28
The smallest integer would be -28
Answer:
i believe it only has one solution, which would be x=12.
Step-by-step explanation:
If two points intersect,then their intersection is a line.A line contains at least twon points. if two lines intersect then exactly one plain contains both lines.
The pattern is in threes so all you have to do is simply add 3 to 21 and so on and so on
Answer: 1/5 or 0.2 in decimal form.
Explanation:
There are 60 seconds in a minute. We know the river flows 12 ft per 1 minute. So in order to find the rate per seconds, divide: 60/12. You get the answer: 1/5 or 0.2 in decimal form.
