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

Mathematics

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

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The roots are:</u>

  • 3, 3, 2 - 3i, 2 + 3i (conjugate of 2 - 3i should be added) and the leading coefficient is - 5

<u>The polynomial is:</u>

  • -5(x - 3)² (x - [2 - 3i]) (x - [2 + 3i]) =
  • - 5(x² - 6x + 9) (x² - 4x + 13) =
  • -5(x⁴ - 10x³ + 46x² - 114x + 117) =
  • -5x⁴ + 50x³ - 230x² + 570x - 585

Delaney would like to make a 5 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of peanuts and several
Alchen [17]

Answer:

a) The system that models the situation is:

p + 0.2m = 3

p + m = 5

b) The solution of the system is:

m = 2.5

p = 2.5

Step-by-step explanat:

It is desired to obtain 5 pounds of a mixture containing 40% peanuts and 60% almonds.

It has a mixture of 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

p: number of pounds of peanuts

m = amount of mixture

The equation that represents the amount of peanut and mixture that is needed is:

p + m = 5 pounds

m = 5-p (i)

The amount of peanut in total that the mixture should have is:

p + 0.2m = 0.6 (5)

p + 0.2m = 3 (ii)

a) The system that models the situation is:

p + 0.2m = 3

p + m = 5

Now we substitute (i) in (ii) and clear p.

p + 0.2 (5-p) = 3

p-0.2p = 2

p = 2.5 pounds

Now we find m

m = 5 - 2.5

m = 2.5 pounds

b) The solution of the system is:

m = 2.5

p = 2.5
