Answer: 14
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Consecutive even numbers would be {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}
Let x represent the smallest number, then x + 2 is the middle number and x + 4 is the largest number.
1st number: x
2nd number: x + 2
3rd number: x + 4
1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number = Sum
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 48
3x + 6 = 48
3x = 42
x = 14
1st number: x ⇒ x = 14
2nd number: x + 2 ⇒ 14 + 2 = 16
3rd number: x + 4 ⇒ 14 + 4 = 18
<u>Check:</u>
14 + 16 + 18 = 48

Answer:
A. Draw a line from the segment to any point on the fold line.
Step-by-step explanation:
When using the paper folding method to find the midpoint of a line segment we take the following steps:
- Draw a line segment on the tracing paper
- Fold the tracing paper so that the endpoints lie on top of each other
- Mark the intersection of the fold and the segment with a point
These steps include statements B, C, and D. Drawing a line from the segment to any point on the fold line, which is statement A, is not included in these steps because it is not needed.
Thus, choice A is not a step in using paper folding to find the midpoint of a line segment.
Subtract the y-coordinates. This is the rise.
Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. This is the run.
Slope = rise/run.
Subtract the y-coordinates: -6 - 15 = -21. rise = -21
Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order:5 - 2 = 3. run = 3
slope = rise/run = -21/3 = -7
