If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:

(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)

This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6

so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?

Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?

x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:

3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2

This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of two of the nine members of ski patrol unit can be chosen is equal to the combinations of 9 taken 2. This can be calculated using the formula:

\frac{9!}{2!*(9-2)!}  

= \frac{9!}{2!*7!}, where

9! =9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 and

7!=7×6×5×4×3×2×1

2!=2×1   then the equation becomes:

=\frac{9*8}{2} =36

Given that Audra was drawing a perpendicular bisector of segment AB with a compass. She started with line segment AB. Then, she placed her compass point on A and opened the compass more halfway to B.


Her next step will be "Using the width of the compass from the previous step, draw two arcs to the left and right of both A and B".
