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:
Rule: y = 2x
m = 2
b = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(17, 34) and (22, 44)
<u>Slope:</u>
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(44-34)/(22-17)
m= (10)/5
m = 2
<u>Slope-intercept:</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 34 = 2(x - 17)
y - 34 = 2x - 34
y = 2x
y = mx + b
y = 2x
b = 0
Answer:
-12 ≤ p ≤ 12
Step-by-step explanation:
If the absolute value inequality is
|p| ≤ 12,
then the answer is
-12 ≤ p ≤ 12
