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....

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 12*3*2 for the area of both sides of the H to get 72

For the middle multiply 2*4 to get 8

72+8=80

Rewrite the equation without absolute value, thanks!

Since x - 3 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-3| = -(x-3)

Since x + 2 > 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x+2| = x+2

Since x - 5 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-5| = -(x-5).

So y = -(x-3) + (x+2) -(-(x-5)) = 3 - x + x + 2 + x - 5 = x.

y = x, if -2 < x < 3.

Corresponding angles for parallel lines p and q cut by transversal r. Corresponding angles are congruent angles.
1 and 5
3 and 7
2 and 6
4 and 8

Linear pair theorem. These 2 angles are equal to 180°
∠1 + ∠2 = 180
∠3 + ∠4 = 180
∠9 + ∠10 = 180
∠11 + ∠12 = 180
∠5 + ∠6 = 180
∠7 + ∠8 = 180
∠13 + ∠14 = 180
∠15 + ∠16 = 180
∠1 + ∠3 = 180
∠2 + ∠4 = 180
∠9 + ∠11 =180
∠10 + ∠12 = 180
∠5 + ∠7 = 180
∠6 + ∠8 = 180
∠13 + ∠15 = 180
∠14 + ∠16 = 180

Vertical angles theorem. Vertical angles are congruent.
