Let

x------>  the first even integer

x+2---->the second even integer

x+3---->the third even integer

we know that

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=36 -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Combine like terms in the left side

(x+x+x)+(2+4)=36

3x+6=36

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

3x+6=36

The equation that can be used to find the first integer is B) 3x + 6 = 36

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

<em>m → gradient of the line</em>

<em>( 0 , c ) → y - intercept</em>

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

\large {m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

\boxed {y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )}

Let us tackle the problem.

<u>Given:</u>

The First Integer = x

The Second Integer = x + 2

The Third Integer = x + 4

<em>The sum of three consecutive even integers is 36.</em>

\texttt{The First Integer + The Second Integer + The Third Integer = 36}

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 36

x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 36

\large {\boxed {3x + 6 = 36} }

Let f(x)=2.912345x^2+3.131579x-0.099999
Rudiy27
A.) Integers are positive and negative counting numbers. So, in order to find the integer coefficients, round off the coefficients in the equation to the nearest whole number. The function for g(x) is:

g(x) = 3x²+3x

B.) Substitute x=4 to the two functions.

f(x) = 2.912345x²<span>+3.131579x-0.099999
</span>f(4) = 2.912345(4)²+3.131579(4)-0.099999
f(4) = 59.023837

g(x) = 3x²+3x
g(4) = 3(4)²+3(4)
g(4) = 60

C.) The percentage error is equal to:

Percentage error = |g(4) - f(4)|/f(4)  * 100
Percentage error = |60 - 59.023837|/59.023837  * 100
Percentage error = 1.65%

D.) If x is a large number, for example x=10 or x=20, then g(x) would be an overestimate. This is because the value of x is raised to the power of 2. So, as the x increases, the corresponding function would increase exponentially. Even at x=4, g(x) is already an overestimate. What more for larger values of x? That means that the gap from the true answer f(x) would increase.

11. You are asked to put a V-shaped roof on a house. The slope of the roof is 53°. What is the measure of the angle needed at th
Anestetic [448]
The question said that it told you the base angles. A roof would have two equal base angles. The base angles= 53

All the angles of a triangle each 180, (the roof is shaped like a triangle)

So, let's make x the missing angle.

53(2)+x=180

106+x=180

Subtract 106 on both sides.

180-106= 74

The vertex angle is 74.

I hope this helps!

o-na [289]

Answer:

38,400 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 24 hours in a day, it will double 4 times

2400times 2 equals 4800 (1st)

4800 times 2 equals 9600 (2nd)

9600 times 2 equals 19200 (3rd)

19200 times 2 equals 38400 (4th)

What is the equation of the line in point-slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (5, 9)?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

y-9=-3(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5, 9)

Therefore,

y-9=-3(x-5)
