X + x +2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x+ 10 = 270
6x + 30= 270
6x = 240
x = 40

all numbers are 40,42,44,46,48,50
second number = 40 + 42 = 42

Hello! 

Let's take a look at this problem... okay so it tells us we have six consecutive even numbers...  *** this means that there are six even numbers that come after each other in order ***   ( for example:   2, 4, 6, 8...)   

since we don't know these numbers let's start off by giving them variable values....

x = 1st number
x + 2 = 2nd number     ---->  I added 2 to x cuz the next even number comes     x + 4 = 3rd number               two spots after
x + 6 = 4th number
x + 8 = 5th number
x + 10 = 6th number

now let's form an equation with all this....

(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) + (x+10) = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
<u>x = 40</u>

Now we plug x into the 2nd number's "equation"....

x + 2 
40 + 2
<u>42</u><u />                   <-----    That's your answer!

Hope this helps! :D

Paper plates cost $8 per package and plastic utensils cost $5 per package. Your supplier delivers 15 packages for a total cost o
Fittoniya [83]
To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.

To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5

Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.

So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.

The ratio of the side length of a square to the square's perimeter is always 1 to 4.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Side length of square (inches): 1 ,2, 4, 7

Perimeter of square (inches). : 4, 8, 16, 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 1:4 (S:P).

So:

#:8, #=2. This is because 2/8 and 1/4 both = 0.25.

#:16, #=4. 4/16=0.25

7:#, #=28. 4x7=28, 7/28=0.25

Hope that helps
