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 solve this? and tell me how?

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.

The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the reverse operation.

The reverse of exponents is square root.

$(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x$

Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.

4x + 10 = 9 + 7x

4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x Subtract 4x from both sides

10 = 9 + 3x

10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x Subtract 9 from both sides

1 = 3x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

If 10 man can work 6hours.How many more men are needed towork in 4 hours

Lerok [7]

Answer:

5 more men

Step-by-step explanation:

10 men do a job in 6 hours.

To do the job in 2 hours, 1/3 of the time, you need 3 times as many men.

30 men do a job in 2 hours.

To do the job in twice the time, 4 hours, you need half the men.

15 men do a job in 4 hours.

15 men - 10 men = 5 men

You need 5 more men.

My guess is 59.49 meters, you add all 4 of the distances together to get the total from that one day. Hope this helps :)
