Suppose the integers are n , n+2 , n+4 and n+6.
84=n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=4n+12.
Subtract 12 from both ends to get.
72=4n.
Divide both ends by 4 to get.
n=18.
So the integers are: 18 , 20 , 22 , 24.

Answer:
7.92 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find t such that ...
3 = 2^(t/5)
where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.
Taking logs, we have ...
log(3) = (t/5)log(2)
t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years
It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, you want the ratio of the weights:
(dino weight)/(car weight) = (2.8×10^5)/(4×10^3)
= (2.8/4)×10^(5-3) = 0.7×10^2 = 0.7×100
= 70
The heaviest dinosaur weighed about 70 times the weight of an average car.

Your calculator can do arithmetic in scientific notation. So can any spreadsheet.
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(10^a)/(10^b) = 10^(a-b)
