Answer:

first number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 between them.

Let n be the first even number then

n + 2, n + 4, n + 6 are the next 3 consecutive even numbers

Sum them together and equate to 36

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 36 ← simplify left side

4n + 12 = 36 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

The first number is 6 and the next 3 are 8, 10, 12

Answer:

the first number in this sequence is 6....

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x

2nd number = x+2

3rd consecutive even number = x+4

4th consecutive even number = x+6

Therefore,

By adding these numbers:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6= 36

Add the like terms:

4x+12=36

Combine the constants:

4x=36-12

4x=24

Divide both the terms by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x= 6

Thus the first number in this sequence is 6....

Answer:

<em>Option B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can approach this problem through the formula for distance between points, but I can think of a more easier approach. This line forms a triangle with the x and y axis, a right triangle with the legs being 2 and 1 units. The line with which we must find the distance of acts as the hypotenuse of this triangle, so let us apply Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the line;

a^2 + b^2 = c^2,\\( 1 )^2 + ( 2 )^2 = c^2,\\\\1 + 4 = c^2,\\c^2 = 5,\\\\c = ( About ) 2.2

<em>Solution; Option B</em>

Find the midpoint between each pair of coordinates. select the correct answer. (-8, -8), (4, 8)
harina [27]
Mid point b/w pair of coordinate (xo ,yo) ,(x1,y1)
X = xo+x1/2
y= yo+y1/2
thus mid point between (-8,-8),(4,8)
X = -8+4/2= -2
y= -8+8/2 = 0
(-2,0) will be the midpoint

Two HS math questions with good points attached. Show / Explain Steps
Alika [10]
V = C(1 - (T/N)).......for C ....multiply both sides by N
NV = CN - CT
NV = C(N - T) ...divide both sides by (N-T)
NV / (N - T) = C

V = C(1 - (T/N))...for T ...multiply both sides by N
NV = CN - CT ....subtract CN from both sides
NV - CN = - CT....divide both sides by -C
(NV - CN) / -C = T or (CN - NV)/ C = T
