Let's name the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4. We know that their sum will be divisible by 2 because they are all even, so we can set x = n/2, and say that x + x+1 + x+2 = 48/2 = 24. Then, we can solve for 3x + 3 = 24, 3x = 24-3 = 21, and x = 21/3 = 7.
Final answer: n/2 = 7, so n = 14, so n+4 (the greatest number) is 14+4 = 
18.

Answer:

y=\frac{x+2}{4} or y = 0.25x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to try change the subject from x to y.

x = 4y - 2

We first move -2 to the left, making the equation

x + 2 = 4y i.e.

4y = x + 2

We then divide both sides by 4.

y=\frac{x+2}{4} or y = 0.25x + 0.5

We now have successfully made y the subject, and effectively solving the equation.

(3x – 1)(2x +9)<br> Multiplying polynomials
ad-work [718]

We can use the FOIL method to simplify.

= (3x – 1)(2x + 9)

= (3x * 2x) + (3x * 9) + (-1 * 2x) + (-1 * 9)

= 6x + 27x + (-2x) + (-9)

= 33x - 11

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-6) and (-2,3)
yarga [219]

Here is your answer and an explanation

Answer: y = -2/3x

Explanation:

This can be determined by calculating the gradient of the straight line, using:

m=ΔyΔx

=−6−34−(−2)

=−96

=−32

Then we use the slope-point form of the straight line:

y−y1=m(x−x1)

to give:

y−3=−32(x−(−2))

∴y−3=−32(x+2)

∴y−3=−32x−3

∴y=−32x
