Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2n can be the smallest integer, and 2n + 18 will be the largest integer.

The sum of this, divided by two, will result in the average/mean.

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 = 3

Multiply each side by 2:

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 ⋅ 2 = 3 ⋅ 2

2n + 2n + 18  =  6

Combine the like terms:

4n + 18 = 6

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4n + 18 - 18 = 6 - 18

4n = -12

Divide each side by 4:

4n/4 = -12/4

n = -3

Since we decided to go by 2n:

2n = 2(-3) = <u>-6</u>

​3 ​/​10 ​​ = ​9 /​k ​​ what is k
NemiM [27]
In order to isolate k, we would first cross multiply
3*k=9*10
3k=90

Then to isolate k, we would divide both sides by 3 to get:
K=30

A rental car company is running two specials. Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $2 for each add
svp [43]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is 40 + 2x = 25 + 5x

Now, to solve for x you first need to subtract 25 from each side:

15 + 2x = 5x

Next, subtract 2x from each side:

15 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

5 = x

Decrease 248 by 30%
Snowcat [4.5K]
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.

So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.

All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4

So subtract 74.4 and get

173.6
