The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 18​

Mathematics
1 answer:
larisa [96]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4,6,8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 1st even integer

x+2 =2nd even integer

x+4 =3nd even integer

x+ x+2 + x+4 = 18

Combine like terms

3x+6 = 18

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6=18-6

3x= 12

Divide by 3

3x/3 =12/3

x = 4

x+2 = 6

x+4 = 8

Joel made egg sandwiches and tuna sandwiches in the ratio 2:3. He then made 15 more tuna sandwiches and the ratio changed to 1:3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

40 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x


Add 15  tuna sandwiches

2x                       : 3x+15

Now the ratio is 1:3


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 1                         : 3

Multiply by y  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

y                           : 3y


Set the number of egg sandwiches equal

2x =y

then set the number of tuna sandwiches equal

3x+15 = 3y

We know have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns

Substitute y =2x into the second equation

3x+15 = 3(2x)

Distribute

3x+15 = 6x

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+15 = 6x-3x

15 =3x

Divide by 3

15/3 = 3x/3

5 =x


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x

2*5                        3*5

10                             15


He originally made 10 egg sandwiches and 15 tuna sandwiches

Then he made 15 more tuna sandwiches

The total number of sandwiches he made is

10+15+15 = 40 sandwiches

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the
Margarita [4]
So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
