Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4
x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)
x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0
-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0
-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0
-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6
So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10
Answer: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
2 × 8 = 16
8 + 4 = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6
6 × 2 = 12
16 + 12 = 28
The second one is correct
i got 5.14cm i don´t know how much you are supposed to round though
36/42= 0.857142857 x 6=5.142857143
