The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 174. What is the smallest of the 3 numbers?

The smallest value is 56.

First even number + second even number + third even number = 174

First even number: x

Second even number: x + 2

Third even number: x + 4

So, (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 174

3x + 6 = 174

3x = 168

x = 56

(56 + 58 + 60 = 174)

Can someone please help me with this question

A. 

To solve, you need to get the variable by itself. 
Order of operations:
Square root both sides.
(x-5)= plus/minus root 3, as 3 is not a perfect square.
Now you need to add 5 to both sides to get it to disappear on the side with the x.

x=root3 +or - 5, which can be rearranged so that 5 is the first term.

Given that 2y^3+by-cy+d,where b,c and d are constants,leaves a remainder R when divided by (y+1) , (y-2) and (2y-1). Find the va
Eddi Din [679]

The polynomial remainder theorem says that a polynomial <em>p(x)</em> leaves a remainder of <em>p(k)</em> when it's divided by <em>x</em> - <em>k</em>.

We're given that dividing <em>p(y)</em> = 2<em>y</em>³ + <em>by</em>² - <em>cy</em> + <em>d</em> leaves the same remainder <em>R</em> after dividing it by <em>y</em> + 1, <em>y</em> - 2, and 2<em>y</em> - 1. So we have

<em>p</em>(-1) = 2(-1)³ + <em>b</em>(-1)² - <em>c</em>(-1) + <em>d</em> = <em>R</em>

==>  <em>R</em> = -2 + <em>b</em> + <em>c</em> + <em>d</em>

<em>p</em>(2) = 2(2)³ + <em>b</em>(2)² - <em>c</em>(2) + <em>d</em> = <em>R</em>

==>  <em>R</em> = 16 + 4<em>b</em> - 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>

<em>p</em>(1/2) = 2(1/2)³ + <em>b</em>(1/2)² - <em>c</em>(1/2) + <em>d</em> = <em>R</em>

==>  <em>R</em> = 1/4 + <em>b</em>/4 - <em>c</em>/2 + <em>d</em>

<em />

We're also given that <em>y</em> + 2 is a factor, which means dividing <em>p(y)</em> by it leaves no remainder, and so

<em>p</em>(-2) = 2(-2)³ + <em>b</em>(-2)² - <em>c</em>(-2) + <em>d</em> = 0

==>  0 = -16 + 4<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>

<em />

Solve the system of equations in boldface. You can eliminate <em>d</em> from the first 3 to first solve for <em>b</em> and <em>c</em>, then solve for <em>d</em> :

(-2 + <em>b</em> + <em>c</em> + <em>d</em>) - (16 + 4<em>b</em> - 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>) = <em>R</em> - <em>R</em>

-18 - 3<em>b</em> + 3<em>c</em> = 0

<em>b</em> - <em>c</em> = -6

(-2 + <em>b</em> + <em>c</em> + <em>d</em>) - (1/4 + <em>b</em>/4 - <em>c</em>/2 + <em>d</em>) = <em>R</em> - <em>R</em>

-9/4 + 3<em>b</em>/4 + 3<em>c</em>/2 = 0

<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em> = 3

(<em>b</em> - <em>c</em>) - (<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em>) = -6 - 3

-3<em>c</em> = -9

<em>c</em> = 3

<em>b</em> - 3 = -6

<em>b</em> = -3

-16 + 4(-3) + 2(3) + <em>d</em> = 0

<em>d</em> = 22

Helpppppp meeeeee 3/4x - 9 = 27 two step equations helppppppp
In-s [12.5K]

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, add 9 to both sides

3/4x - 9 (+9) = 27 (+9)

3/4x = 36

Next, multiply 4/3 to both sides

(4/3)(3/4)x = 36(4/3)

x = 36(4/3)

Simplify.

x = 12(4)

x = 48

48 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
