the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42. what is the smallest of these numbers

Answers

Answer 1
Explanation :-

Let's assume the lowest integer be x.Then the next integer x+2 (since our integers need to be even) and the third integer x+4.

[tex]\qquad[/tex]____________________

It’s given

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42.

[tex] \bf{\underline{\underline{\dag According\ to\ the\ question:-}}} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \pink{\bf\longrightarrow {x+( x +2)+(x+4) = 42} }[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x +6 =42[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x = 42-6[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow 3x =36[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow x = \cancel {\dfrac{36}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex]\pink{ \bf\longrightarrow x = 12}[/tex] ( which is our lowest integer.)

The smallest of these numbers is 12. And the next two integers we find with 12+2=14 and 12+4=16.

Answer 2

Given :

Sum of three consecutive even numbers is 42. We are to find the smallest of the smallest consecutive even number.

[tex] \: [/tex]

Solution :

Let us assume the three consecutive even numbers be "x" , "(x + 2)" and "(x + 4)" . Here x is the smallest number .

So,

According to the Question :

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42

⇢x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 42

⇢ x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 42

⇢ 3x + 6 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 42

⇢ 3x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 42 - 6

⇢ 3x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 36

⇢ x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 36/3

⇢ x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 12

Hence, 12 is the smallest consecutive even number.

Find the equation of the line that passes thru (-1,-5) and is parallel to 3x+y=-5. Show work.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-3x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Start with the given equation, and to find the slope, convert it to slope-intercept form by solving for y.

[tex]3x+y=-5[/tex]

In this case, all you need to do is subtract 3x from both sides.

[tex]y=-3x-5[/tex]

Here, the slope is -3. The slope of a parallel line will also be -3.

Now, we have 3 known variables. We have the slope and the x and y of a known point. Use those 3 knowns to solve for the 1 unknown, the y-intercept.

[tex]y=mx+b\\-5=(-3)(-1)+b\\-5=3+b\\-8=b\\b=-8[/tex]

Finally, with the slope and the y-intercept, you can write the equation of the line:

[tex]y=-3x-8[/tex]

find the height of the tree

Answers

Use the property of similarity of triangles =》the corresponding sides of a triangle should be in the same ratio.

Take the missing side as 'x'.

The corresponding sides here are,

■ 7 & 14 ft

■ 5 & x ft

7/14 = 5/x

7x = 5 × 14 (cross multiplication)

7x = 70

x = 70/7

x = 10 ft

Height of the tree = 10 ft.

If you live 1.5 miles from school and you walk at a rate of 3mph, when should you leave home in order to arrive at school by 9:00?

Answers

Answer is  8:30

Work Shown:

time = distance/speed

time = (1.5 miles)/(3 mph)

time = (1.5/3) hours

time = 0.5 hours

time = 30 minutes

It takes 30 minutes to walk to school, so you should leave a half hour before 9:00. Subtracting 30 minutes from 9:00 gets you to 8:30. If anything, you should start a little bit before 8:30 just in case something might slow you down for one reason or another.

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

a. 125

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle labeled "x" is supplementary with the angle that has a measure of 55°

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180°

This means that x + 55 must equal 180

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for x.

We now solve for x using the equation we just created.

x + 55 = 180

subtract 55 from both sides

x = 125

The answer is a

a. 125 is the correct answer. I was about to do a long explanation but I just realized that the person before me said the same thing.
