Answer:

14 is the smallest

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the smallest number

x+x+2 +x+4 = 48

3x +6 = 48

3x =42

x= 14

14, 16, 18

 Another way to find the middle number  48/3 = 16

Answer:

m = 3/2

b = 0

y = 3/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the slope, which is the rise/run of a line.

Using this, we know m is 3/2.

B is the y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case, B equals 0.

We use this information to put together our final equation of y= 3/2x (since B equals 0, there is no + or - after the slope)

Use the properties of operations to determine if each pair of expressions is equivalent
SIZIF [17.4K]

Using the properties of operations the given pair of expressions are not equivalent

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, we have to use the properties of operations to determine if each pair of expressions is equivalent

<em><u>And the two expressions are:</u></em>

\frac{1}{2}(4-2 x) \text { and } 2-2 x

Now, we know that, there are four (4) basic properties of operations:

<em>Commutative, Associative, Distributive and Identity. These properties only apply to the operations of addition and multiplication.</em>

So, if we observe we can apply distributive property on 1st expression

The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum.

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{2}(4-2 x) \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}(2 x)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2-x}\end{array}

Here the resulting expression is 2 – x and it is not equivalent to 2 – 2x

Hence, the given two expressions are not equal.

Abcd is a rectangle if DB=26 and DC=24 find bc
Anettt [7]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle

Where a and c = other two sides of triangle

Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:

Let a = BC

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )

a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )

a = square root of ( 100 )

a = 10

Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.

If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:

a = BC = 10

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

100 + 576 = 676

676 = 676

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.

navik [9.2K]

You would use the POINT SLOPE FORMULA and the Slope Formula

which is as follows ...

slope formula : \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

point slope formula:  y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )
