Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is 44!

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how...

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=200

5x+20=200 (minus 20 on both sides to get 5x by itself)

5x=180 (divide both sides by 5 to get just x)

x=36

5th number - x+8=36+8=44 (simple substitution and addition)

I HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x-2,x-1,x,x+1,x+2 be five consecutive numbers and x-2 is smallest number.

x-2+x-1+x+x+1+x+2=200

5x=200

x=200/5=40

x-2=40-2=38

smallest number is 38

1250 lbs of sand.

So first let's find the volume of the sand in the sandbox. You have a square sandbox, with a side length of 5, meaning you have a length and width of 5. You also have half a foot of sand in the sandbox, meaning that you have a height of 0.5. To find the volume of the sand, multiply the length by the width by the height:

$5 * 5 * .5 = 12.5$

So you have 12.5 cubic feet of sand. If each cubic foot of sand is 100 lbs, then you just multiply the two:

$12.5 * 100 = 1250.0

Given the equations x + y = 20 and x - y = 8, which values of x and y

hammer [34]

Answer:

x = 14 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to this problem, we plug in the values of x and y from each answer choice and simplify.

(11) + (9) = 20. 20 = 20.
(11) - (9) = 20. 2 ≠ 8.

(9) + (11) = 20. 20 = 20
(9) - (11) = 20. -2 ≠ 8.

(14) + (6) = 20. 20 = 20.
(14) - (6) = 8. 8 = 8.

(6) + (14) = 20. 20 = 20
(6) - (14) = 8. -8 ≠ 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 14 and y = 6.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
