It’s B
If y-x=6
Y +X =_10
then y= 6 + x, instead of y insert this no
6+ x+ x =-10
6 + 2x =-10 then collect like terms
2x =-10-6
2x=-16 then multiple both side by 1/2
X=-8
Y=6+x instead of x insert -8
Y=6-8
=-2
R * p = -37.8
Solve for either R or p.
R = -37.8/p
Now plug into R + p = 13.5
-37.8/p + p = 13.5
Solve for p.
After finding p, plug your p-value into either R + p or R*p to find R.
Take it from here.
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...
Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.
2nd number= x+2
3rd number
=x+2+2
= x+4
sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4
114= 3x+6
3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)
3x= 108 (simplify)
x= 108 ÷3
x= 36
Thus, the smallest number is 36.
Let's check!
36+38+40= 114 ✓
To answer this question, we need to know what like terms are. Like terms are terms whose variables and exponents are the same. The coefficients can be different, though. In this case, the like terms are -a²b and 5a²b (because of the definition above.
