<h3>Given :-</h3>

  • Sum of three consecutive even numbers = 114

<h3>To Find :-</h3>

  • The smallest number .

<h3>Solution :-</h3>

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4 .

\longrightarrow  \rm x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x + 6 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x = 108

\longrightarrow \bf x = 36

Smallest number = 36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

6n+6=114

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6n=108

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

n=108/6=18

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

Which expression is equivalent to the given polynomial expression?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

C. -31m⁴n - 8m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Required:

Determine an expression equivalent to it

Solution:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Distribute the negative sign to open the parentheses

9mn - 19m⁴n - 8m² - 12m⁴n - 9mn

Combine like terms

9mn - 9mn - 19m⁴n - 12m⁴n - 8m²

-31m⁴n - 8m²

Therefore, -31m⁴n - 8m² is an equivalent expression of (9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Find the missing length marked with a question mark.<br> UVW-USR
mariarad [96]

Given:

\Delta UVW\sim \Delta USR

To find:

The missing length marked with a question mark.

Solution:

Let x be the missing value.

We have,

\Delta UVW\sim \Delta USR

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so

\dfrac{UV}{US}=\dfrac{VW}{SR}=\dfrac{UW}{UR}

Using this, we get

\dfrac{UV}{US}=\dfrac{UW}{UR}

On substituting the values, we get

\dfrac{70}{x}=\dfrac{55}{44}

\dfrac{70}{x}=\dfrac{5}{4}

On cross multiplication, we get

70\times 4=5\times x

280=5x

\dfrac{280}{5}=x

56=x

Therefore, the missing length is 56 units.

If the simple interest on $5,000 for 9 years is $2,700, then what is the interest rate?
fomenos

Answer:

the interest rate is 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i=prt

2700= 5000•r•9

2700= 45000r

2700/45000= 45000r/45000

2700/45000= r

*reduce the fraction to simplest form*

r= 3/5
