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.

The histogram shows the results of a survey that asked people how many hours of sleep they get each night. Which
Maru [420]

The true statements are

The mean is near the median.

The mean is the best measure of center.

The five-number summary is the best measure of variation

<h3>What is a histogram? </h3>

A histogram is used to represent data graphically. The histogram is made up of rectangles whose area is equal to the frequency of the data and whose width is equal to the class interval.

If the mean is greater than the median, the histogram would be skewed to the right. If the mean is less than the median, the histogram would be skewed to the left.

If a gas-filled balloon rises 40 feet in the 1st minute, 60 feet in the 2nd minute, and 80 feet in the 3rd minute, how many feet
tresset_1 [31]
The distance traveled by the balloon in every minute makes an arithmetic sequence with a first term equal to 40 ft and common difference equal to 20. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by,
                                     an = a1 + (n - 1) x d
Substituting,
                                      an = 40 + (15 - 1) x 20 = 320
Thus, the answer is letter B. 320 feet.

La barbería El Caleño, tiene en promedio 120 clientes a la semana a
Luba_88 [7]

Queremos maximizar el precio de tal forma que los ingresos no disminuyan.

Ese maximo precio es: $14,040.6

Sabemos que actualmente el precio es:

p = $6,000

El número de clientes es:

C = 120

Actualmente los ingresos son el producto de esos dos números, es decir:

ingresos = $6,000*120 = $720,000

Ahora sabemos que por cada incremento de $700 en el precio, el número de clientes decrece en 10.

Entonces podemos escribir el número de clientes como una ecuación lineal.

C(p) = a*p + b

tal que tenemos dos puntos en esa linea:

($6,000, 120)

($6,700, 110)

La pendiente es:

a = \frac{110 - 120}{\$6,700 - \$6,000} = \frac{-10}{\$ 700}

Entonces tenemos:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + b

Sabemos que:

C($6,000) = 120 = (-10/$700)*$6,000 + b

                     120 = -85.71 + b

                     120 + 85.71 = b =

Entonces la ecuación lineal es:

C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + 205.71

Los ingresos serán dados por:

ingresos = C(p)*p = (-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p

Y queremos maximizar p de tal forma que esto sea igual a lo que obtuvimos antes:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p = $720,000

Entonces debemos resolver la ecuación cuadratica:

(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p - $720,000 = 0.

Las soluciones son dadas por la formula de Bhaskara.

p = \frac{-205.71 \pm \sqrt{(205.71)^2 - 4*(-10/\$ 700)*\$ 720,000} }{2*(-10/\$ 700)} \\\\p = \frac{-205.71 \pm 195.45}{(-20/\$ 700)}

La solución de maximo valor es:

p = (-205.71 - 195.45)/(-20/$700) = $14,040.6
