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

What is the quotient of StartFraction 7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline EndFraction? Star
Komok [63]

The quotient of the number given number  7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline is 7.

<h3>What is the quotient?</h3>

Quotient is the resultant number which is obtain by dividing a number with another. Let a number a is divided by number b. Then the quotient of these two number will be,

q=\dfrac{a}{b}

Here, (<em>a, b</em>) are the real numbers.

The number StartFraction 7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline EndFraction, given can be written as,

\dfrac{7^{-1}}{7^{-2}}

Let the quotient of this division is n. Therefore,

n=\dfrac{7^{-1}}{7^{-2}}

A number in numerator of a fraction with negative exponent can be written in the denominator with the same but positive exponent and vise versa. Therefore,

n=\dfrac{7^{2}}{7^{1}}\\n=7

Hence, the quotient of the number given number  7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline is 7.
