Answer:
1. Use a straightedge
2. Draw dots on the line to mark the starting point
3. Place the point of the compass on the point you made or was given
4. Extend the compass so that the pencil is on the 2nd point & make a an arc thru point B
5. Place the compass point on the starting point dot on the line and draw w/ the pencil to create an arc crossing the line.
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
Answer:
4(2e - 3)(3e + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24e² - 28e - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term
= 4(6e² - 7e - 3) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the e² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the e- term.
product = 6 × - 3 = - 18 and sum = - 7
The factors are - 9 and + 2
Use these factors to split the e- term
6e² - 9e + 2e - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3e(2e - 3) + 1 (2e - 3) ← factor out (2e - 3) from each term
= (2e - 3)(3e + 1)
Then
24e² - 28e - 12 = 4(2e - 3)(3e + 1) ← in factored form
Answer:
252.3110
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:
x+2, x+4, x+6.
The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e
x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123
x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123
3x + 12 = 123
Collect like terms
3x = 123 — 12
3x = 111
Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3
x = 111/3
x = 37
Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:
1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39
2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41
3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43
The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39
