Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smallest of the three numbers. Then the other two are (x+2) and (x+4). Their sum is ...
x + (x+2) +(x+4) = 162
3x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6
x = 156/3 = 52
The smallest of the three numbers is 52.
___
I like to work problems like this by considering the average number. Here, the average of the three numbers is 162/3 = 54, the middle number of the three. Then the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 2 less, or 52.
The Power of a Power Rule. In this case, you basically multiply the two exponents together, and simplify (x^4)^9 to equal x^36
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 4 + 1 + 9 + 6 = 20 cookies. So the probabilities of each type for a random cookie are:
P(oatmeal raisin) = 4/20 = 1/5
P(sugar) = 1/20
P(chocolate chip) = 9/20
P(peanut butter) = 6/20 = 3/10
Answer:
Negative + Negative = Positive
Negative + Positive = Negative
Positive + Negative = Negative
Positive + Positive = Negative
The rules are the same for division.
