The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114 what's the smallest of these numbers​

Mathematics

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 ✓

At what point does a line with a slope of 34 and a y-intercept of -5 intersect a line with a slope of −14 and a y-intercept of 3
maw [93]
Set them into slope-intercept forms of equations then set those equations equal to each other and solve for x and y.  y = 34x - 5 and y = -14x+3.  Set those equal to each other, solve for x to get x = 1/6.  Sub in that x value to get y = 2/3.  The point where they intersect is the solution of the system; in other words, where on both lines we have the exact same (x, y) value.
