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

Anthony borrowed $18,800 at 6% simple interest for 4 months. Determine the amount of interest.
anygoal [31]
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
4 months ÷ 12 months/year = 0.333333 years,
then, solving our equation

I = $ 376.00

I = 18800 × 0.06 × 0.333333 = 375.999624
I = $ 376.00

The simple interest accumulated
on a principal of $ 18,800.00
at a rate of 6% per year
for 0.333333 years (4 months) is $ 376.00.
