Answer:

The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week  is 249

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume :

The number of carpets cleaned by old company in 1 week = m

So, the number of carpets cleaned by new company in 1 week

= 3 x ( Number of carpets cleaned by old company)

 = 3 (m) = 3 m

Total carpet cleaned altogether in a week  = 332

So, Total Carpets cleaned by both companies in 1 week

= Number of carpets cleaned by ( Old + New) company in 1 week.

=  m + 3  m =  4 m

⇒  4  m = 332

or, m = 332 / 4 = 83  , or m = 83

Hence number of carpets cleaned by old company per week = m = 83

The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week

= 3 m =  3 x 83= 249

Find four consecutive even integers whose sum is 84. Find the integers.
mina [271]
Suppose the integers are n , n+2 , n+4 and n+6.
84=n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=4n+12.
Subtract 12 from both ends to get.
72=4n.
Divide both ends by 4 to get.
n=18.
So the integers are: 18 , 20 , 22 , 24.

Shelly is trying to improve her running time for a track race she ran the first race in 43.13 seconds her time was 43.1 seconds
lesantik [10]
I we consider her running times as an arithmetic series with common difference:
43.13 - 43.1 = -.03/2 = -.015, Shelly's time in the fourth race will be 43.1 - .015 = 43.085.

Factor the common factor out of 8x3 + 12x. please help asap.
Hitman42 [59]
So 8x3 = 24

24 + 12x
the common factor is 12
so you divide everything by 12
24 ÷ 12 = 2
12x ÷ 12 = x

final answer: 12 (2+x)
