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

How to find slope y=3x+5
klemol [59]

This equation is in slope-intercept form; y = mx+b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so to find the slope you'd look at the coefficient of x.

In this equation, y = 3x+5, the coefficient of x is 3, so that means that the slope of this equation is 3.

Answer is:

3 is the slope

Please help me solve this
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This number is much larger than 1. You need to start at the decimal and move left (that's how scientific notation works for numbers larger than 1.)

So the answer is 1.0054 * 10 ^7

The person doing this started at the 1 and moved right until he/she hit the decimal. Wrong direction.

At what interest rate must you invest $4500 to have $7,000 after 6 years, if the interest is compounded quarterly?
labwork [276]

Answer:

The amount is $8358.7 and the interest is $3858.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

STEP 1: To find amount we use formula:

A=P(1+rn)n⋅t

A = total amount

P = principal or amount of money deposited,

r = annual interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time in years

In this example we have

P=$4500 , r=7% , n=2 and t=9 years

After plugging the given information we have

AAAA=4500(1+0.072)2⋅9=4500⋅1.03518=4500⋅1.857489=8358.7

STEP 2: To find interest we use formula A=P+I, since A=8358.7 and P = 4500 we have:

A8358.7II=P+I=4500+I=8358.7−4500=3858.7
