The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 138. What is smallest of the three numbers ?

Let the three consecutive even numbers be: n

n + 2 and n + 4

Therefore: n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 138

Combine like terms: 3n + 6 = 138

3n + 6 - 6 = 138 - 6

6 - 6 = 0

138 - 6 = 132

3n = 132

Divide each side by 3

3n/3 = 132/3

n = 44

Therefore the three consecutive even numbers are: 44, 46 and 48

Check: 44 + 46 = 90 + 48 = 138

Answer: 44

Hope this helps!

A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.8
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

132 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile cost $4

The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.

If the contractor pays a total of $545.82

Let the number of tiles be represented as x

The equation is represented as:

$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82

17.82 + 4x = 545.82

Collect like terms

4x = 545.82 - 17.82

4x = 528

Divide bother sides by 4

4x/4 = 528/4

x = 132

The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles
