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

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of an object is the sum of the length of its sides.

For the required triangle, we have;

length of the base = x

length of the second side = 3x + 9

length of the third side = x + 9

Perimeter of the triangle = length of the base + length of the second side + length of the third side

                                        = x + (3x + 9) + (x + 9)

                                        = x + 3x + 9 + x + 9

                                        = 5x + 18

The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.

Which ordered pair (p,r) is the solution to the given system of linear equations?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

(p,r) = (1/3, 2/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve a system of equations

We can rewrite the second equation by dividing through by 2

So we have;

4p + 3r = 2

and

5p - 3r = 1

Add both equations:

9p = 3

p = 3/9

p = 1/3

Recall ;

5p - 3r = 1

3r = 5p - 1

Substitute the value or p here

3r = 5(1/3)-1

3r = 5/3 - 1

3r = 2/3

r = 2/9

So we have the solution set as;

(p,r) = (1/3 , 2/9)
