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

Mathematics
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago

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 ✓

Suppose we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D, to determine in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices matters, and in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices does not matter, the following calculations must be performed:

If order matters =

 

(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / 2 = X

24/2 = X

12 = X

If the order doesn't matter =

12/2 = X

6 = X

Therefore, letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Ronald spins a spinner that has 10 sections numbered from 1 to 10. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a prime num
vladimir1956 [14]
Prime number is a whole number that has no possible divisors that 1 and itself. Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5.7.11,13,17,19,23 and 29. From 1 to 10 there are 3 prime numbers: 3,5 and 7. 
The probability can be calculated as the ratio between the number of "good" events and the total number of possible events. There are three "good" events (3,5 or 7) and 10 total events, so the probability that the spinner lands on a prime number is: 3/10. So, none of the given options is true.
