Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...

Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.

2nd number= x+2

3rd number

=x+2+2

= x+4

sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4

114= 3x+6

3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)

3x= 108 (simplify)

x= 108 ÷3

x= 36

Thus, the smallest number is 36.

Let's check!

36+38+40= 114 ✓

The are of a shaded region is 118 ft squared. Which equation can be- used to find the value of X, in feet?
Triss [41]

Answer:

x^2+ 18x -130=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for diagram

Required

The equation to find x

First, calculate the area of the big rectangle using:

Area = Length * Width

So:

A_1 = (x + 6) * (3x - 2)

The smaller rectangle

A_2 = (x - 1) * (2x)

The difference between this areas give the area of the shaded region.

So:

A_1 - A_1 = 118

(x+6)*(3x-2) - (x-1)*2x = 118

Open brackets

3x^2 - 2x + 18x -12 -2x^2 +2x = 118

Collect like terms

3x^2 -2x^2- 2x +2x+ 18x -12   - 118=0

x^2+ 18x -130=0

<em>The above equation can be used to solve for x</em>
