Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to isolate the variable x, this means only one side of the equation should have the variable x. To do this, you need to do the opposite operation from what's given (if it's addition, use subraction; if it's multiplication, use division; these work vise versa)

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 10x = 4x - 18.
Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 6x = -18.
Divide both sides by 6. This gives you x = -3

The final answer is x = -3

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. What is the smallest of the three numbers

lidiya [134]

The answer is 30.

First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.

This may help:

96/3=32

32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93
