Answer: The numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation: First thing to note is that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 units between every two terms. That is, if the first number is a, the next would be a + 2, and the next would be a + 4, and so on.

Therefore the three consecutive even numbers shall be a, a + 2, and a + 4.

Our equation now becomes;

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 48

3a + 6 = 48

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

3a = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

a = 14

Therefore, the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

A collection of 77 quarters and dimes is worth $12.50. How many quarters are in the collection? PLS HELP ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

77 quarters and dimes

q + d = 77

subtract q from both sides

d = 77 - q

---------------------------

A collection of  quarters and dimes is worth $12.50 (1250 cents)

25q + 10d = 1250

substitute for d

25q + 10(77 - q) = 1250

distribute

25q + 770 - 10q = 1250

Combine like terms

15q + 770 = 1250

subtract 770 from both sides

15q = 480

divide both sides by 15

q = 32
