THE SUM OF THREE CONSECUTIVE EVEN INTEGERS IS 72 FIND THE THIRD INTEGERS.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
ozzi2 years ago
3 0

Answer: The three consecutive even numbers are <u>22, 24, 26</u>

22+24+26 = 72

========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = first even number
  • x+2 = second even number directly right after x
  • (x+2)+2 = x+4 = third even number directly after x+2

For example, if x = 12, then we'd have x+2 = 12+2 = 14 and x+4 = 14+4 = 18.

However 12+14+18 = 44 is not 72 like we want.

You can guess-and-check your way to the answer, but a faster efficient route is to use algebra. Add up those x expressions and set the sum equal to 72 and solve.

(first) + (second) + (third) = 72

(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 72

3x+6 = 72

3x = 72-6

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22

So we have,

  • x = 22 = first even number
  • x+2 = 22+2 = 24 = second even number
  • x+4 = 22+4 = 26 = third even number

As a check: 22+24+26 = 72 which verifies the answers.

Which of the following expressions is equal to sin⁡(-150°)?
maria [59]

Check the picture below.

let's notice that the angle -150° has a reference angle of 30°, so any trigonometric function for either angle will be the same value, however, let's recall that the sine or y-coordinate is negative on the III Quadrant, so sin(-150°) is the same as sin(30°) BUT negative, -sin(30°).

If the probability that a bird will lay an egg is 75%, the probability that the egg will hatch is 50%, and the probability that
garik1379 [7]

Answer: (A) 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a bird will lay an egg =0.75

The probability that the egg will hatch  =0.50

Now, the probability that the egg will lay an egg and hatch = 0.75\times0.50

Also,The probability that the chick will be eaten by a snake before it fledges =0.20

Then, the probability that the chick will not  be eaten by a snake before it fledges : 1-0.20=0.80

Now, the probability that a parent will have progeny that survive to adulthood will be :-

0.75\times0.50\times0.80=0.30=30\%

Hence, the probability that a parent will have progeny that survive to adulthood =  30%

If nm = 8x - 14 and jk = x squared + 1, find JK
marissa [1.9K]

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. The length of Jk can be either 10 or 26.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.

Since in a rectangle the opposite sides are equal, therefore, the sides NM and JK will be equal.

JK = MN

8x - 14 = x² + 1

0 = x² - 8x + 15

x = 5, 3

Hence, the length of Jk can be either 10 or 26.

The complete questions are:

Quadrilateral JKMN is a rectangle, if NM= 8x - 14 and JK= x squared + 1, find JK.

Hatshy [7]
<span>You are given John Davis’ rate which is $9.75 an hour. It is said that he works for four hours on Monday, six hours on Tuesday, five hours on Wednesday, five hours on Thursday, and seven hours on Friday. You are asked to find the gross pay of John Davis. All you need to do is to multiply the rate to the hour of work.</span>
<span>
Monday: $9.75(4h) = $39</span>
Tuesday: $9.75(6h) = $58.5
Wednesday: $9.75(5h) = $48.75
Thursday: $9.75(5h) = $48.75
Friday: $9.75(7h) = $68.25  
<span>
To get the gross pay, add everything and you will get $263.25. The answer is letter D.</span>
