Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know the explanation behind any of it, but a negative number, when multiples by another negative number, is always positive.
Greetings!
To start this problem, let's first assign a variable for the missing, consecutive odd numbers. Since they are consecutive and odd, we add two.
<u>Proof:</u> <em>3-1=2, 5-3=2</em>
The first, consecutive, odd number: 
The second, consecutive, odd number: 
The third, consecutive, odd number: 
The fourth, consecutive, odd number: 
The sum of the values are equal to 3 times the sum of the first two numbers, of which this is equal to 35 less than the fourth number. Let's create an equation to simplify this:

Complete the operations inside the parenthesis:

Distribute the parenthesis (utilizing the distributive property)


Simplify both sides:

Add -6 and -x to both sides of the equation:


Divide both sides of the equation by 5:


If
is equal to -7:



The four numbers are:

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Add like terms to get
4.5a + 4b + 3.5c
It is not factored completely because it was only factored by 3ab but it could have been factored by 6a²b
6a²b(a+6+8a²)
