Answer:
61 , 63 , 65 , 67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256
First, simplify. Combine all like terms:
x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256
4x + 12 = 256
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)
4x = 256 - 12
4x = 144
Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:
(4x)/4 = (144)/4
x = 144/4
x = 61
61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:
x = 61
x + 2 = 63
x + 4 = 65
x + 6 = 67
Check:
61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256
256 = 256

20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>
<em>Since we are already given the base and the height, we can substitute them into the formula to find the area of the triangle.</em>
<u>Cancel out the "2" by dividing it by 18.</u>
