The equation for what the 2nd number of three consecutive numbers that equal to 414 is : x+(x+1)+(x+2)=414

Multiply and Simplify:

x+x+1+x+2=414

3x+3=414

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x+3-3=414-3

3x=411

Divide three by both sides to get answer:

3x/3=411/3

x=137.

If you want to check if its correct add the three numbers that come next:

137+138+139=414.

Answer:  The 2nd number is 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the  first number, let 2x be the second number and let 3x be the third number

since the sum of the three consecutive numbers is 414, then this implies;

x + 2x + 3x =  414

6x            =    414

To get the value of x, we divide both-side of the equation by six(6)

6x / 6  =  414/6

(On the left-hand side of the equation, the six at the numerator will cancel out the six at the denominator leaving us with just x and the right-hand side of the equation, we will simply divide 414 by 6, that will give us 69)

x    =  69

The first number is x = 69

The second number is 2x = 2×69 =138

The third number is 3x = 3×69 =207

Adding all these numbers up will result to 414.

That is;

<em>69 + 138 + 207 =414</em>

<em></em>

Therefore the 2nd number is 138

Number of emails received in one account every day from the day it was created until it was canceled:
3241004551 [841]
The answer is B. Complete information.

A sample means only part of the whole. From the day the email was created till it was cancelled is the whole population. Consider that no mails will no longer go in because it is closed so no more additional information or data will enter that category. So it would be considered as complete. If the situation were to ask from one point to another before it was cancelled it would be considered as a sample.
