<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.

If y varies jointly with x and z and y=40 when x=10 and z=9 find z when x =55 and y=105
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

  z = 189/44

Step-by-step explanation:

The "varies jointly" relationship can be expressed by ...

  y = kxz

We can find k from the given values.

  40 = k(10)(9)

  40/90 = k = 4/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now we want to find z for given values of x and y. That can be found from ...

  y = (4/9)xz

  9y/(4x) = z . . . . . multiply by 9/(4x)

Filling in the new numbers, we have ...

  z = 9·105/(4·55)

  z = 4 13/44 = 189/44 ≈ 4.2954...(repeating 54)

A cell phone costs $170 and has a tax rate of 7%. Write and Solve a proportion to find how much tax is paid on the cell phone.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone is $11.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of the cell phone = x = $170

The tax rate of the cell phone = r = 7% of the phone cost

Let The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = $y

<u>Now, According to question</u>

The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = 7 % of cost of the cell phone

i.e y = 7% of x

Or, y = \dfrac{7}{100} × x

Or,  y = \dfrac{7}{100} × $170

Or, y = \frac{7\times 170}{100}

∴ y = 7 × 1.7

i.e y = $11.9

So,The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone = y = $11.9

Hence, The Amount of tax paid on the cell phone is $11.9   Answer
