The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 84. What is the smallest of the three numbers?

Mathematics

Answer: 26

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we have 3 consecutive even numbers whose sum is 84 and it asks us to find the smallest number.

Consecutive even numbers can be represented as x, x + 2, and x + 4.

Since the sum of these is 84, our equation reads

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84.

Simplifying on the left we get 3x + 6 = 84.

Subtract 6 from both sides and we have 3x = 78.

Divide both sides by 3 and x = 26.

So our smallest number is 26.

Plz help me Find LM.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Because LP and NP are the same measure, that means that MP is a bisector. It bisects side LN and it also bisects angle LMN. Where MP meets LN creates right angles. What we have then thus far is that angle LMP is congruent to angle NMP and that angle LPM is congruent to angle NPM and of course MP is congruent to itself by the reflexive property. Therefore, triangle LPM is congruent to triangle NMP and side LM is congruent to side NM by CPCTC. Side LM measures 11.

The sum of the angle measures of a polygon with s sides is 2340. find s.
Leviafan [203]
S=15 

Whatever the number of sides of a polygon,

the sum of its exterior angles is always <span>360∘</span>

Further, each pair of exterior angle and interior angle adds up to <span>180∘</span>

Hence in a polygon with s sides (or angles),

the sum of all the interior and exterior angles would be <span><span>180∘</span>×s</span>

and sum of interior angles would be <span><span>180∘</span>×n−<span>360∘</span>=<span>180∘</span><span>(s−2)</span></span>

As sum of angles is <span>2340∘</span>

Hence, <span>180<span>(s−2)</span>=2340</span> or <span>s−2=<span>2340180</span>=13</span>

and <span>s=13+2=15</span> and polygon is a Pentadecagon.

i hope u understand :)

It takes 36 minutes less time to travel 120 miles by car at night than by day because the lack of traffic allows the average spe
denpristay [2]
Let the average speed at day time be x miles per hour

Therefore at night the average speed = (x + 10) miles per hour

Time = Distance / speed

Time at day  -  Time at night =  36 minutes.

36 minutes = 36/60 hour =  6/10 hour

Time at day = Distance / speed at day =  120 / x

Time at night = Distance / speed at night =  120 / (x + 10)


  120/x   -  120/(x + 10) = 6/10

     1/x  -  1/(x + 10)  =  6/10* 1/120

       1/x -  1/(x + 10) =  1/200

         ((x + 10) - x) / ((x)(x+10)) = 1/200

             (x + 10 - x) / ((x)*(x+10)) = 1/200

                     10 / ((x)*(x + 10)) = 1/200

                         1 / ((x)*(x + 10)) = 1/2000

   Therefore        x (x + 10) =  2000

           x and x +10      are          40 and 50.    Because 40*50 = 2000

           x = 40

     Average speed in the day time = 40 miles per hour
