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 the graphed function f(x) = −(5)x − 3 + 2, calculate the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 4.
azamat

Answer:

-4 is the average rate of change from 3 to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is defined as the fraction of change in f(x) value to change in x value.

Here we have x values as 3 and 4.

To find the average rate of change from x=3 to x=4

Average rate of change = change in f(x)/change in x

f(4) = -5^{4-3} +2 = -3\\f(3) = 1\\f(4)-f(3) = -3-1 =-4

Change in x = 4-3 =1

The total cost of the trip can be found by adding these components: Entrance fee per student: $5(29) Lunch costs: $4(29 + 6) Bus
N76 [4]

Given:

Entrance fee per student: $5(29)

Lunch costs: $4(29 + 6)

Bus fees: $25 + 8($2 + $3)

Total cost: 5(29) + 4(35) + 25 + 8(5)

To find:

The equivalent expressions of the total cost that use the properties of operations to simplify the math.

Solution:

We have,

Total cost = 5(29) + 4(35) + 25 + 8(5)

To simply this expression, we need to write 29 and 35 in the expand form or as the sum of their place values because it is easy to multiply a number with multiply of 10 and single digit.

Total cost = 5(20+9) + 4(30+5) + 25 + 40

Therefore, the correct option is B.
