Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 48 by 3 = 16
they must be consecutive even numbers
2 less than and two more than 16 are 14 and 18
14 + 16 + 18 = 48
the smallest is 14
Answer: the length of fencing that Juan needs to surround the entire garden is 6x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a plane shape is the distance round the shape. The garden is rectangular in shape.
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The length of the garden is (2x – 5) feet and the width of the garden is (x + 3) feet. The length of fencing that Juan would need is
2[(2x - 5) + (x + 3)]
= 2(2x + x - 5 + 3)
= 2(3x - 2)
= 6x - 4
This is the formula for compounded interest.
P is the principal investment,
r is the rate (6%=0.06)
n is the number of times compounded per year (n=12 is monthly, n=2 is twice per year)
T is the number of years past
And A is the amount of money after t years with a rate r compounded n times per year staring at P amount
Final answer:
n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded.
Hope I helped, and sorry it took this long for you to get an answer.
Hey there, Brainiac!
To start this off, let's subtract LW from both sides of the equation.
S - LW = WH + HL
Now, let's use the distributive property on WH+HL.
Using the distributive property, we can change that to H(W+L)
S - LW = H(W+L)
Now, to finish this off, let's divide both sides by (W+L)

That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Answer:
Equation for x: 3x - 6 = 
x = 9
CD = 17
GH = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is
GH = 
3x - 6 = 
6x - 12 = 2x + 24
4x = 36
x = 9
CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17
GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21
