The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 87. What is the smallest of these numbers?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first (the smallest) of these consecutive odd numbers be n.

Then the other two are n+2 and n+4.  Adding up these 3 numbers results in 87 = 3n + 6, so that 3n = 81 and n = 27.

The three consecutive odd integers are 27, 29 and 31.  The smallest is 27.

When 0.5(20x – 50y + 36) – 0.25(–100x + 40y – 12) is simplified, what is the resulting expression?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<h2>35x - 35y + 21</h2>

solution,

0.5(20x - 50y + 36) - 0.25( - 100x + 40y - 12) \\  = 10x - 25y + 18  + 25x - 10y + 3 \\

Combine the like terms:

= 10x + 25x - 25y - 10y + 18 + 3 \\

Simplify:

35x - 35y + 21

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

The LCM of 2 numbers is 60 and 1 of the numbers is 7 less than the other number. What are the numbers?
Phoenix [80]
Let's represent the two numbers by x and y.  Then xy=60.  The smaller number here is x=y-7.

Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0.  Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:

discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191.  Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
        -(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
             -2(1)

and 

        -(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
             -2(1)

Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.


Try thinking this way:  If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60.  What would happen if x=5 and y=12?  Is xy = 60?  Yes.  Is 5 seven less than 12?  Yes.
