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....

Solve for x.<br> 10x – 79 = 2x + 49<br> x = [?]
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Add 79 to both sides</u>

10x - 79 + 79 = 2x + 49 + 79

10x = 2x + 128

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 2x from both sides</u>

10x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 128

8x = 128

<u>Step 3:  Divide 8 from both sides</u>

\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{128}{8}

x = 16

Answer:  x = 16

Sophia is at home, and has to
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Sophia should start her homework at 5:55

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes her 10 minutes to go to school, 30 minutes to do her homework, and 25 minutes to eat dinner, you should add those numbers together to get 65 because then you can subtract 65 minutes from 7:00 so you get the time she needs to start her homework in order to get to school at 7:00. So basically 10+30+25=65 and then 65 minutes subtracted from 7:00 is 5:55.

I hope this helps you :D
