<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.

How many books can you get in a storage bin that is 4 feet high and 9 feet long and 11 feet wide
Ugo [173]
Well, this depends on the size of the books. We can find the volume of the bin by using...
V=bh or l x w x h
So, 9 times 11 is 99.
99 times 4 is 396, which is the volume.
You did not specify the size of the books, so all we can say is that the volume of the bin is 396 cubic feet.
