Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y, z

y=x+2, z= x+4

  • y²- 2= 2x+5z
  • (x+2)²- 2= 2x+ 5(x+4)
  • x²+4x+4-2= 2x+5x+20
  • x²-3x-18=0

Solving the quadratic equation we get:

  • x=6, then y= 8, z= 10
  • x= -3 discarded as odd number

Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x y and z are three consecutive even numbers

it means that you can write y = x + 2

and z = y + 2 = x + 4

so

  y^2-2=2x+5z\\  (x+2)^2-2=2x+5(x+4)\\x^2+4x+4-2=2x+5x+20

  x^2+4x+2=7x+20\\x^2+4x+2-7x-20=0\\x^2-3x-18=0\\(x+3)(x-6)=0(x=-3\ or \ x=6)

so the solutions are

x = 6

y = 8

x = 10

The diameter of the moon is 2,160 miles. A model has a scale of 1 in : 150 mi. What is the diameter of the model?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Diameter of the moon = 2,160 miles

The scale on the model represents 1 in = 150 miles

Let the model represents k inches in 2,160 miles.

So, by the Ratio of Proportionality:

\frac{1}{150}   = \frac{k}{2160}

⇒k = \frac{2160}{150} \\\implies k =  14.4

or, k = 14.4 inches

⇒On the scale 2160 miles is represented as 14.4 inches

    Hence the diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.

An electrician charges Mr. Speer $300 before sales tax, for wiring his home. (a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the sales tax percent. In order to solve the question, let's assume that the sales tax is 6%.

(a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer has to pay?

This will be:

= Sales tax percent × Amount charged

= 6% × $300

= 6/100 × $300

= 0.06 × $300

= $18

The sale tax is $18

(b) What is the total amount Mr. Speer has to pay?.

The total amount will be the addition of the amount charged and the sales tax. This will be:

= $300 + $18

= $318

a student can walk 17 meters in 30 seconds.If the student walked for 1 hour ,how many miles and yard can they walk?
Usimov [2.4K]
Ok if a student walks 17 meters in 30 seconds he walks 34 meters in a minute 17+17=34 then you take 34(meters in a minute) multiply by 60(minutes in an hour) you get 2040  34x60=2040meters 1609.34 meters equal a mile 2040-1609.34=430.66 meters left theres 1.09361yards in a meter so 430.66x1.09361=470.97yards 
 
so i guess you could say a student would walk 1mile and 470.97 yards if he walked 17 meters in 30 seconds for an hour straight 

p.s it made sense in my head
