The sum of three consecutive even numbers is one hundred sixty - two.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest of the three numbers. Then the other two are (x+2) and (x+4). Their sum is ...

  x + (x+2) +(x+4) = 162

  3x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6

  x = 156/3 = 52

The smallest of the three numbers is 52.

___

I like to work problems like this by considering the average number. Here, the average of the three numbers is 162/3 = 54, the middle number of the three. Then the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 2 less, or 52.

For each angle θ listed below, find the reference angle α, and then find sin θ. Round sin θ to four decimal places, if necessary
babunello [35]

Answer with explanation:

It is given that

 \rightarrow\Theta =132^{\circ}

The Angle lies in Second Quadrant.

Formula to find reference Angle

→If Angle lies in first Quadrant

  then Reference Angle = The Angle given

→If Angle lies in Second Quadrant

  Then Reference Angle = 180° - Angle

→If Angle lies in third Quadrant

  then Reference Angle =  Angle - 180°

→If Angle lies in fourth Quadrant

  Then Reference Angle = 360° -Angle

Reference Angle

   =180^{\circ}-132^{\circ}\\\\=48^{\circ}

⇒sin 48°=0.7431448

Rounding to four decimal places

Sin 48°=0.7432

I need help on this:The perimeter of the square below is 36 yards. What is the length of each side?
jeka57 [31]
Hi so remember the perimeter of a square is 4 times the side. so if the perimeter is 36 then you can divide 36 by 4 to get the answer 9.

36=4^x
36=4x
36/4=x
9=x

to cross check if ever unsure times the (side) by 4 if it matches the given perimeter.

A 4-pound bag of apples costs $5.00. Based on that rate, which equation shows how y, the cost in dollars, is realted to x, the w
makvit [3.9K]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. y = 1.25x

If each pound is $1.25 and you get 4 pounds then that would equal to $5.00 or y.


Hope this helps !

Write a question that matches this equation.<br><br> 42 ÷ n = 6
Arlecino [84]
If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).

If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
