Find three consecutive even integers if the third is 8 less than twice the second

Mathematics

lianna [129]2 years ago

Answer:

8, 10, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are even there is a whole number x so that (1st)2x, (2nd) 2x+2, and (3rd)2x+4 are the 3 consecutive integers.

so

If the third is 8 less than twice the 2nd then:

 3rd   = 2 (2nd) - 8

2x + 4 = 2 (2x+2) - 8

2x + 4 = 4x + 4 - 8

2x + 4 = 4x - 4         Add 4 to each side

2x + 4 + 4 = 4x - 4 + 4

2x + 8 = 4x    Subtract 2x from each side

2x - 2x + 8 = 4x - 2x

8 = 2x         Divide each side by 2

8/2 = 2x/2

8/2 = x

4 = x

No we plug into our equations to find the integers.

2x = 2(4) = 8    

2x + 2 = 2(4) + 2 =  8 + 2 = 10              

2x + 4 =  2(4) + 4 =  8 + 4 = 12

So our integers are 8, 10, 12

How much should you invest at 4% simple interest in order to earn $50 interest in 6 months
LenaWriter [7]
Simple interest formula
Interest = Pit = $50
P=principal (initial investment)
i=annual interest rate = 0.04
t=time in years = 6 months = 0.5 years

Substitute values,
$50 = P*0.04*0.5 
Solve for P
P=$50/(0.04*0.5)=$2500

A retail outlet offers a retention bonus for each shopping season an employee remains with the company. Samuel's starting pay is
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons with the company is f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n.  After 18 seasons with the company, Samuel's hourly rate will be 18.8 $ /hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Samuel's starting pay is $12.50/hr and for each season Samuel remains with the company, he receives a $0.35/hr raise.

Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons at the company will then be:

f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n

To determine the hourly rate after 18 seasons, you must replace the value n with 18:

f(18)= 12.50 + 0.35*18

Solving you get:

f(18)= 12.50 + 6.3

f(18)= 18.8

<u><em>Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons with the company is f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n.  After 18 seasons with the company, Samuel's hourly rate will be 18.8 $ /hr. </em></u>
