Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we have 3 consecutive even numbers whose sum is 84 and it asks us to find the smallest number.
Consecutive even numbers can be represented as x, x + 2, and x + 4.
Since the sum of these is 84, our equation reads
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84.
Simplifying on the left we get 3x + 6 = 84.
Subtract 6 from both sides and we have 3x = 78.
Divide both sides by 3 and x = 26.
So our smallest number is 26.

Answer:
P(1 and 2 are green) = 3/25
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to know the total number of marbles
6 Blue + 10 red + 9 green = 25 marbles
P ( 1st marble is green) = green/ total
= 9/25
Since we don't put it back, there are
6 Blue + 10 red + 8 green = 24 marbles
P ( 2st marble is green) = green/ total
= 8/24 = 1/3
P(1 and 2 are green) = P(1st green) * P(2nd green)
= 9/25 * 1/3
= 3/25
