8, 10, 12
A helpful equation:
x+x+1+x+2 = 30
Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 30
Subtract 3 from each side
3x = 27
Divide each side by to isolate x
x = 9
x = 9. However, 9 is not an even number. Let’s subtract 1 from 9 to get the first even number.
The first number is 8. The best two even numbers after 8 are 10 and 12.
8 + 10 + 12 = 30, thus this is the sequence.
Answer: 3 kids take 3 pieces of candy each
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of children that took 3 pieces is x ( total take 3*x pieces of candy)
Number of children that took 5 pieces is y ( total take 5*y pieces of candy)
1 child took 1 piece that actually means that x+y=18 and 3*x+5*y=84.
( Because total number of all kids is 19. We just deduct one kid (Let his name is John) who took only 1 candy. So we have 19-1 =18 kids without John. The similar is with the candies. Total number is 85. We deduct 1 piece which John has taken. )
So we have 2 equations or the system of 2 equations:
1). x+y=18
2). 3*x +5*y=84
Multuply both sides of equation 1) by 3
We have 3*x+3*y=18*3
Deduct 3*y from both sides of this equation
3*x+3*y-3*y=54-3*y
3*x=54-3*y
Substitute 3*x in equation 2). by 54-3*y
2) 54-3*y+5*y=84
2*y=30
y=15 ( kids take 5 pieces of candy each)
Using equation 1) find x
x+15=18
x=3 (kids take 3 pieces of candy each)
90% of "a" is 44.......turn ur percent into a decimal...." of " means multiply..." is " means equals...
0.90a = 44...divide both sides by 0.90
a = 44 / 0.90
a = 48.89.....this is rounded
what is 30% of 3a.....and we know that "a" is 48.89...
0.30(3 * 48.89) = 0.30(146.67) = 44 <=== ur answer

Step-by-step explanation:
-x, -(x+1)
-x-(x+1)=10506
x^2+x-10506=0
