- The sum of 3 Consecutive oddnumbers is 36. What are thenumbers?​

Mathematics

Sedbober [7]4 years ago

Answer: 10, 12, and 14

Step-by-step explanation: When we look at consecutive numbers we usually think of numbers that are right next to each other. If we are talking about odd numbers, then we will obviously be skipping the even numbers. To find the consecutive odd numbers that have a sum of 36, we don't know where to start so we need to start with a variable.

In this problem, let's use "X" as our variable.

the next thing we need to think of is what will be our next consecutive odd number. If the random odd number we put is X then if we want to find our next consecutive odd number we would be adding 2 and to represent that algebraically we would have X + 2. Our last integer we will have to add 2 again if we have X + 2 we have to add 2 again so we will have X + 4.

Since we are talking about the sum, we can rewrite our equation.

X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 36

Since we have 3Xs on the same side, we can combine them. We can also combine the 4 and the 2 since they are on the same side.

3x + 6 = 36

      -6    -6     ← subtract 6 on both sides

3x = 30

÷3    ÷3     ← divide both sides by 3

X = 10

X + 2 = 12

X + 4 = 14

Therefore, our three consecutive odd numbers are 10, 12, and 14.

1.The sum of three consecutive numbers minus 12 is 75
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The answer is

One:   28, 29, 30

Two: 75,77

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1

(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 =  75                Remove the brackets

x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75                    Combine the like terms on the left

3x - 12 = 75                                       Add 12 to both sides

3x = 75 + 12

3x = 87                                              Divide by 3

x = 87/3

x = 29

Two

Let the first odd number = 2x -1

Let the second odd number = 2x + 1

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170           Combine like terms on the left.

4x + 18 = 170                             Subtract 18 from both sides.

4x = 170 - 18                             Combine like terms on the right

4x = 152                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 152/4

x = 38

2 * 38 - 1 = 75

2 * 38 + 1 = 77

A relay team of 4 swimmers is to be formed from a swim team with 20 member. How many different relay teams are possible?
Mars2501 [29]
<span>When order does not matter you use what is called n choose k formula

n!/(k!(n-k)!) where n is the number of things to choose from and k is the number of choices made, in this case:

20!/(4!(20-4)!)=4845</span>

What is the value of z so that -9 and 9 are both solutions of x^2+z=103?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Z = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

plug 9 into the equation

9^2 + z = 103

81 + z = 103

subtract 81 from both sides

z = 22

do the same with -9

since you are squaring -9 this still equals 81 so the answer is the same.

Planet Q Is 3.6 x 10^6km
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1.64×10⁷ km

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this is a triangle rectangle, so we apply the Pythagorean Theorem

QR=sqrt(PR²+PQ²)

Solving it, we will encounter in

sqrt(2.56×10¹⁴+1.296×10¹³)

to solve it, we need to bring the two numbers at the same power of ten, so we move 1.296 of one place to the left:

sqrt(2.56×10¹⁴+0.1296×10¹⁴)

we can now add the two numbers:

sqrt(2.6896×10¹⁴)

to solve this, we do the square root of 2.6896 and divide 14 by two (the index of the root is 2, so for roots' properties we can divide 14 by 2 - the index)

which gives us

1.64×10⁷
