C - 72 x 4

If using PEMDAS, you can already deduce the exponents and parenthesis. With these gone, you're left with multiplication and division and this is decided by which comes first from left to right. Thus, leaving you with the first multiplication problem presented.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

54 equals 9 more than a number

So if we do this, we get

54 = x+9

x+9 = 54

54-9=x

Write three consecutive numbers starting with number n+1, where n is natural number. Find the sum of those numbers and prove tha

netineya [11]

Consecutive numbers differ by one, which means that if you start with a certain integer $x$ , you obtain the next integer by adding one.

So, if you start with $n+1$ , the three consecutive numbers are

$n+1,\quad (n+1)+1 = n+2,\quad (n+2)+1 = n+3$

The sum of these three numbers is

$(n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 3n+6$

This number is divisible by 3 because you can write it as

$3n+6 = 3(n+2)$

Note that this is true in general: the sum of three consecutive numbers is always divisible by three, because it is three times the middle number.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$\frac{13}{38}$ or $13:38$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 38 cars parked in the parking structure. There are 13 parking spaces that are empty. We are asked to find the ratio of available parking spaces to parked cars.

To find the ratio of available parking spaces to parked cars, we will set an equation as:

$\frac{\text{Available Parking space}}{\text{Parked cars}}=\frac{13}{38}$

Therefore, the ratio of available parking spaces to parked cars is $\frac{13}{38}$ or $13:38$ .
