Find three consecutive even interfere such that their sum is 50 more than the largest interfere

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
3 0

Hm. This is an interesting problem.

Let's see if we can express each of these numbers in terms of x and make an algebra equation to help us solve.

Consecutive even numbers increase by 2.

Let's allow x to equal our first number.

Let's allow x + 2 to equal our 2nd number.

Let's allow x + 4 to equal our 3rd number.

When we add those together, their sum need to equal 50 more than the largest integer (our x + 4)

Let's set it up!

x + (x +2) + (x + 4) = (x + 4) + 50

Simplify!

3x + 6 = x + 54

Let's reorganize the left and right sides.

3x - x = 54 - 6

2x = 48

x = 24 (our 1st even number)

Now, let's check our answer!

24 + 26 + 28 = 78

78 - 50 = 28 Our highest integer.

The sum of consecutive integers 24, 26, 28 is 50 more than the highest integer.

Last week at the park Haeather ran 4 miles in 48 minutes when she runs her next race she Hope's to improve her time by 2 minutes
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Haeather ran at a speed of 5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that last week at the park Haeather ran 4 miles in 48 minutes, to determine what was Haeather rate of speed in miles per hour the following mathematical calculation must be performed:

48/4 = 12

Thus, Haeather ran 1 mile every 12 minutes.

60/12 = 5

1 x 5 = 5

Therefore, Haeather ran at a speed of 5 miles per hour.

Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. Then the store got six more hamster
nalin [4]

Answer: shameeka sold 20 hamsters to the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hamsters that shameeka sold to the store.

Let y represent the number of hamsters that the pet store had initially.

Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. It means that

x + y = 2y

x = 2y - y

x = y

Then the store got six more hamsters. If the pet store has 46 hamsters now, it means that

2y + 6 = 46

2y = 46 - 6

2y = 40

y = 40/2

y = 20

Since x = y, then

x = 20
