Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smallest of the three numbers. Then the other two are (x+2) and (x+4). Their sum is ...
x + (x+2) +(x+4) = 162
3x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6
x = 156/3 = 52
The smallest of the three numbers is 52.
___
I like to work problems like this by considering the average number. Here, the average of the three numbers is 162/3 = 54, the middle number of the three. Then the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 2 less, or 52.

Answer:
<em>36000</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following
Principal = 60,000
Rate = 15%
Time = 4years
Using the simple interest formula
SI = PRT/100
SI = 60000*15*4/100
SI = 600 * 60
SI = 36,000
<em>Hence the interest paid after 4 years is 36000</em>
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
call the missing number x
8 - x = - 5 Subtract 8 from both sides
8-8 - x = -5-8 Combine
-x = - 13 Multiply by -1
x = 13
