Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

<span>Instead of k, k+1, k+2, you should use k, k+2, k+4 with the constraint that k is even (i.e. if you return an odd integer for k, or a non-integer, then return no solution). 

</span><span>k + (k+2) + (k+4) = 4k

</span><span>3k + 6 = 4k
k = 6 

</span><span>Indeed, 6+8+10 = 4*6.</span>

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the first even integer

then, next even integer will be k+2

and the next consecutive even integer will be k+4

Sum of three consecutive even integers was 4 times the first of those integers.

i.e. k+(k+2)+(k+4)=4k

3k+6=4k

6=4k-3k

i.e. k=6

Jared wrote and solved the equation:

k+ (k+1) + (k+2) = 4k

i.e. 3k+3=4k

i.e. 4k-3k=3

i.e. k=3

No, he didn't get the correct answer

(since, he wrote 3 consecutive integers as k,k+1 and k+2 instead of k,k+2 and k+4)

Andrew 720 seconds take shower and 420 seconds eating breakfast how many minutes does it take Andrew take a shower and eat break
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Total time = 19 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Time to shower = 720 seconds

Time to eat breakfast = 420 seconds

To find the total time in minutes;

Total time = 720 + 420

Total time = 1140 seconds

We know that 60 seconds equals a minute.

Total time = 1140/60

Total time = 19 minutes.

Therefore, it will take Andrew 19 minutes to take a shower and eat breakfast.

Carlos and Diya perform the same transformations on
KengaRu [80]

Answer: Carlos is right

Step-by-step explanation:

why because in dilation, the image and the original are similar, in that they are the same shape but not necessarily the same size. They are not congruent because that requires them to be the same shape and the same size, which they are not (unless the scale factor happens to be 1.0).

Diya is wrong because the picture is the not the same size && the image is going to stay the same
