The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6 = 66
x = 66/3 = 22

The least consecutive integer is 22
The second consecutive integer is 24
Therefore, the numbers are 22, 24 and 26

Find the distance between the points <br> (-8,-6) and (4, 10)
never [62]

Answer:

d=20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points we use the distance formula

d = √(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²

The given points are (x1= -8, y1 = -6) and (x2 = 4, y2 = 10).

Substitute the given points into the distance formula.

d = √(4 + 8)²+(10 +6)²

d = √144+252

d= √400

d = 20

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 48. What is the smallest of these numbers?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: The numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation: First thing to note is that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 units between every two terms. That is, if the first number is a, the next would be a + 2, and the next would be a + 4, and so on.

Therefore the three consecutive even numbers shall be a, a + 2, and a + 4.

Our equation now becomes;

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 48

3a + 6 = 48

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

3a = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

a = 14

Therefore, the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.
