If the sum of four consecutive numbers is 854, what is the third one?

Mathematics

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214

A box contains one yellow, two red, and three green balls. Two balls are randomly chosen without replacement. Define the followi
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  box contains one yellow, two red, and three green balls.

Two balls are randomly chosen without replacement.

A) one ball is yellow:

This means one is yellow and other can be any other colour

i.e. drawing one yellow and one from 5 remaining.

This can be as (y,r) (y,g) (r,y) or (g,y)

where y for yellow, r for red and g for green.

B) { At least one ball is red }

This means the two balls should not be different from red.

The favorable outcomes are  two red, (one red, one yellow) (one green, one red). But should not be (green,yellow)

C) :{ Both balls are green }

Here the balls drawn should be only green, green and not any other combination.

D) { Both balls are of the same col

Since yellow is one, there cannot be two yellows

Hence only possibilities are (red, red) or (green, green)

Please help me with this math problem, urgent please
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

y = -3.5x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Your slope-intercept equation is always y = mx + b

Using this formula, we need to find slope first: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Step 1: Find slope

m = (1-8) / (4-2)

m = -7/2

Step 2: Plug in into slope-intercept form

y = -3.5x + b

Step 3: Find <em>b </em>(Plug in a coordinate given)

1 = -3.5(4) + b

1 = -14 + b

b = 15

Step 4: Combine it all together

y = -3.5x + 15

And you have your final answer.

Sustituir. 20c + 15r + 75p + 50e​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

8c - 7r + 10p - 20e

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract (20c + 15r + 75p + 50e) - (12c + 22r + 65p + 70e)

(20c + 15r + 75p + 50e) - (12c + 22r + 65p + 70e)

Open bracket

20c + 15r + 75p + 50e - 12c - 22r - 65p - 70e

Collect like terms

= 20c - 12c + 15r - 22r + 75p - 65p + 50e - 70e

= 8c - 7r + 10p - 20e
