Answer: The value of Z is 14

Step-by-step explanation: The numbers are X, Y and Z and they are described as consecutive integers. That means there is a difference of 2 between each number (just like even numbers 2, 4, 6 8...). In other words if the first number is X, the next number would be X+2, while the third one would be X+4, and so on. This means Y would be X+2 and Z would be X+4.

However, 3 times the value of Z (X+4) exceeds half of X (X/2) by 37. This can be expressed as follows;

3(X + 4) = X/2 + 37

3X + 12 = X/2 + 37

3X - X/2 = 37 - 12

(6X - X)/2 = 25

6X - X = 25 * 2

5X = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

X = 10

Therefore, Z (X + 4) equals 10 + 4 which gives you 14

The value of Z = 14

12. A flat, square roof needs a square patch in the corner to seal a leak. The side length of
NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the good part= area of whole roof - area of bad part

Since the roof is a square roof, the area will be calculated using the formulae for area of a square

Area of a square =length²

Area of good part =(x+12)²-x²

A= {(x+12)(x+12)} - x²

A = (x²+12x+12x+144) -x²

Open the bracket and rearrange the equation

A= x²-x²+24x+144

A=(24x+144) ft

Given the sequence 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, what is the sum of the 31st and 19th terms?
erica [24]

Answer:

First term (a) =8

Common difference (d)= t2-t1

=12-8

=4

Now, sum of first 31th term (tn31) =n/2{2a+(n-1)d}

= 31/2{2×8+(31-1)4}

=31/2{16+(30×4)

=31/2(16+120)

=31/2×126

=31×63

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarly use 19 as (n) for the 19th term
