The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 30. How can you solve for the 2 numbers?

Answer:

14 and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.

Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.

Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.

This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.

Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.

We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.

(2n)+(2n+2)=30

And we solve from there:

4n+2=30\\\Rightarrow4n=28\\\Rightarrow n=7

So, the value of n is 7.

Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.

And the consecutive even number is 16.

Law of sines: How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠A = 75°, a = 2, and b = 3? No triangles can be formed. One t
Vinvika [58]

We have been given angle A as 75 degrees and sides a = 2 and b = 3.

Using Sine rule, we can set up:

\frac{Sin(A)}{a}=\frac{Sin(B)}{b}

Upon substituting the given values of angle A, and sides a and b, we get:

\frac{Sin(75)}{2}=\frac{Sin(B)}{3}

Upon solving this equation for B, we get:

\Rightarrow 3Sin(75)=2Sin(B)\\  \Rightarrow Sin(B)=\frac{3Sin(75)}{2}\\  \Rightarrow Sin(B)=1.4488\\

Since we know that value of Sine cannot be more than 1. Hence there are no values possible for B.

Hence, the triangle is not possible. Therefore, first choice is correct.
