What is the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 30?

8, 10, 12

A helpful equation:
x+x+1+x+2 = 30

Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 30

Subtract 3 from each side
3x = 27

Divide each side by to isolate x
x = 9

x = 9. However, 9 is not an even number. Let’s subtract 1 from 9 to get the first even number.

The first number is 8. The best two even numbers after 8 are 10 and 12.

8 + 10 + 12 = 30, thus this is the sequence.

Answer:

here:

you can make an equation

x + ( x + 2) + (x + 4) = 30

then by combining like items you get

3x + 6 = 30

then solve

3x = 30 - 6 ; then 3x = 24 , and x = 8

so the three numbers are 8 ; 10 and 12.

Schach [20]

If AB = BC then set up the equation 3x - 4 = 5x - 10

Subtract 3x.

-4 = 2x - 10

Add 10.

6 = 2x

Divide by 2.

3 = x

AB is 3x - 4 so

3(3) - 4

9 - 4

AB = 5

If AB is not equal to BC then this is not solvable.

But if they are I am sure AB = 5.

Hope this helps

1. Determine a rule that could be used to explain how the volume of a

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We will use the basic formulas for calculating the volumes of two solid bodies.

- The volume of a cylinder ( V_l ) is represented by:

$V_c = \pi *r^2*h$

- Similarly, the volume of cone ( V_c ) is represented by:

$V_c = \frac{1}{3}*\pi *r^2 * h$

Where,

r : The radius of cylinder / radius of circular base of the cone

h : The height of the cylinder / cone

- We will investigate the correlation between the volume of each of the two bodies wit the radius ( r ). We will assume that the height of cylinder/cone as a constant.

- We will represent a proportionality of Volume ( V ) with respect to ( r ):

$V = C*r^2$

Where,

C: The constant of proportionality

- Hence the proportional relation is expressed as:

V∝ r^2

- The volume ( V ) is proportional to the square of the radius. Now we will see the effect of multiplying the radius ( r ) with a positive number ( a ) on the volume of either of the two bodies:

$V = C*(a*r)^2\\\\V = C*a^2*r^2$

- Hence, we see a general rule frm above relation that multiplying the result by square of the multiple ( a^2 ) will give us the equivalent result as multiplying a multiple ( a ) with radius ( r ).

- Hence, the relations for each of the two bodies becomes:

$V = (\frac{1}{3} \pi *r^2*h)*a^2$
