Alenkasestr [34]2 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.

Eamon wants to buy a new baseball glove that costs $50. he has $14 and earns $6 per hour cleaning yards. How many hours must he
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The answer is that he would have to work 6 hours to have enough money to buy the glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Find the amount he needs to earn by subtracting $14 from $50: 50 - 14 = 36. So he needs to earn $36.00.

2: Since you have to find the amount of hours, you can divide $6 from $36 to get the amount of hours he needs to work: 36 / 6 = 6. Eamon only gets $6.00 per hour so he would have to work 6 hours to get the $36.00.
