D. 160 you simplify the expression to get your answer.
Answer:
D. A sequence with 5 terms that starts with 3 and has a common ratio of 2
Answer:
It can be filled 15 times
Step-by-step explanation:
If 5 casks hold 120 gallons each,
5x120= 600
To find how many times a 40gallon barrel can be filled,
= 600/40
= 15
This means a 40 gallon barrel will be filled 15 times.
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
