Answer:

91 is the largest of the three numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x, (x+2) and (x+4).

Given that the sum of these three odd consecutive numbers is 177.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=177

3x+6=177

3x=177-6

3x=171

x=\frac{171}{3}=57

The number are : x = 57

(x+2) = 57 + 2 = 59

(x+4) = 57 +4 = 61

91 is the largest of the three numbers.

Answer:

1st odd  = 57

2nd odd  = 59

3rd odd  = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the numbers to be:

1st odd = x -2

2nd odd = x

3rd odd = x +2

Now according to given conditions:

1st odd + 2nd odd + 3rd odd = 177

x - 2 + x +x + 2 = 177

By add -2 and + 2 will be cancelled

Adding all x

3x = 177

Dividing both sides by 3 we get

x = 177 / 3

x = 59

Now putting x = 59 to get three consecutive odds:

1st odd = x -2 = 59 - 2 = 57

2nd odd = x = 59

3rd odd = x +2 = 59 + 2 = 61

Proof:

1st odd + 2nd odd + 3rd odd = 177

57 + 59 + 61 = 177

177 = 177

hence proved

I hope it will help you!

The circumference of a roll of party streamers is 9 inches. The circumference decreases by 2 inches after you use the streamers
leonid [27]
For that case the new circumference is:
 C = 9 - 2
 C = 7 inches
 By definition, the circumference is:
 C = 2 * pi * r
 Where,
 r: radio
 Substituting values:
 7 = 2 * pi * r
 Clearing the radio:
 r = 7 / (2 * pi)
 Then, the diameter is:
 d = 2 * r
 Substituting:
 d = 2 * (7 / (2 * pi))
 d = 2.228169203
 Round to the hundredth:
 d = 2.23 inches
 Answer:
 
The diameter of the roll after the decrease is:
 
d = 2.23 inches

If there are 5 terms in a quadratic sequence
exis [7]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First differences:

0.8-0.2, 1.8-0.8, 3.2-1.8, 5.0-3.2

0.6, 1.0, 1.4, 1.8

Second differences:

1.0-0.6, 1.4-1.0, 1.8-1.4

0.4, 0.4, 0.4

For the next term, add 0.4 to the last term from the first differences, and add the sum to the last term of the quadratic sequence:

0.4+1.8=2.2

2.2+5.0=7.2

∴ The next term in the sequence is 7.2
