Choice C, it has the same slope as the given equation without being identical to it like choice a.
Answer:
smallest number=626
middle number=628
larger number=630
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the numbers, let's use n as the variable. Since we know that the numbers are consecutive even numbers, we know that they increase by 2. For example, we could have 2+4+6=12.
Knowing that the consecutive numbers increase by two's, we can use this.
smallest number: n
middle number: n+2
larger number: n+4
All we have to do is add these together and set it equal to 1884.
n+(n+2)+(n+4)=1884 [combine like terms]
3n+6=1884 [subtract both sides by 6]
3n=1878 [divide both sides by 3]
n=626
Now that we know n=626, we also know that the other numbers are 626, 628, 630 respectively.
What do you need help with? it helps us to know the question!
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
