Given:
Find:
Solution: We know that a is greater than b and we also know that we are going to be adding c to both sides which means that both sides would increase by the same amount. Therefore a + c would still be greater than b + c giving us the expression of a + c > b + c.
5x(4x^3 + 3x - 2)
There’s a 5 and a x common.
X= negative 2
First take negative 4 and add it to both sides to get -3=3x+3
Then subtract 3 from both sides to get -6=3x
next divide -6 by 3x to get x= -2
Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
I’m pretty sure it would have to be 10 but not %100
