The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 100. What is the first number in this sequence?

Mathematics
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent this with an equation, where x is the first number. The next number must be x+2, because it has to be even, not x+1, and the rest continue the same way:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8) = 100

Solve for x.

5x+20 = 100

5x = 80

<u>x = 16</u>

Tap water is a ______
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(running water, city water, town water, municipal water, sink water, etc.) is water supplied to a tap (valve). Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and the flushing of toilets. Indoor tap water is distributed through "indoor plumbing", which has existed since antiquity but was available to very few people until the second half of the 19th century when it began to spread in popularity in what are now developed countries. Tap water became common in many regions during the 20th century, and is now lacking mainly among people in poverty, especially on Indian Reservations in the US and in developing countries.

3-x=5x+21
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{ \sf{ \bold{- 3}}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{3 - x = 5x + 21}

Move 5x to left hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{  - x - 5x  + 3 = 21}

Move 3 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{ - x - 5x = 21 - 3}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{ - 6x = 21 - 3}

Subtract 3 from 21

⇒\sf{ - 6x = 18}

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

⇒\sf{ \frac{ - 6x}{ - 6}  =  \frac{18}{-6}}

Calculate

⇒\sf{x  = -3}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Does doubling the height of the cylinder has the same affect on the volume of a cylinder as doubling the radius explain
musickatia [10]
Volume of cylinder = π.R².h , where R = radius and h = height

Let's replace h by 2h:
V₁= πR².(2h) → V₁ = 2π.R².h

Now let's double R, the radius (and keep h as h)
V₂ = π.(2R)².h → V₂ = 4.π.R².h

Compare V₁ to V₂→ (V₁ = 2π.R².h  and  V₂ = 4.π.R².h).
It's obvious that V₂ = 2.V₁
