What is the next number in the series 4 12 6 9 8 6

2 answers:

8 0

4,6,8 are being counted by twos so the next one is 10
4•3= 12, 6+3=9, 8-3=6, the next operation I assume would be division so 10/3= 3.34

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The next number in the series will be:

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a series by:

4 12 6 9 8 6

By looking at the series we observe that the series is operated by two operations alternatively.

The odd term of the series i.e. 1st term, 3rd term , 5th term and so on are obtained by adding 2 to each of the preceding term .

and the even term of the series i.e. 2nd term, 4th term, 6th term , 8th term and so on are obtained by subtracting 3 to each of the preceding term.

i.e. odd series is:

4+2=6

6+2=8

8+2=10

even term of the series:

12-3=9

9-3=6

Hence, the answer is: 10

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by

Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

$A = wl$

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

$l = 2w + 3, A = 9$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$w(2w+3) = 9$

$2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0$

Thus a quadratic equation with $a = 2, b = 3, c = -9$

Then

$\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81$

$w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5$

$w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3$

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

For the figure shown on the right, find the value of the variable and the measures of the angles. PLZ HELP

pychu [463]

P=69 degrees
Q=71 degrees
R=40 degrees

Explanation

All triangles equal up to 180 degrees.
First add all numbers without x.
Then add all xs.

5x+20=180
Subtract 20 from 180

5x=160
Divide 160 by 5

x=40

What are the steps in solving word problems involving multiplication of simple

wariber [46]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For every question that comes your way, the first step is to understand the question.

The next, is to convert the word problems into algebraic expressions.

Lastly, you solve the expression accordingly.

Take for instance.

Ade has half a dozen eggs. How many dozen does Ade have?

We understand that; half means ½ and a dozen means 12.

So, the expression is

½ * 12 = 6 eggs
