Answer:

61 , 63 , 65 , 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:

(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256

First, simplify. Combine all like terms:

x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256

4x + 12 = 256

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)

4x = 256 - 12

4x = 144

Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:

(4x)/4 = (144)/4

x = 144/4

x = 61

61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:

x = 61

x + 2 = 63

x + 4 = 65

x + 6 = 67

Check:

61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256

256 = 256

5 - 6 - 9 - 8 - 5 - 4 + 5 - 5 -5 -5 - 32 = ?
musickatia [10]

5 - 6 = -1

-1 - 9  = -10

-10 - 8 = -18

-18 - 5 = -23

-23 - 4  = -27

-27 + 5  = -22

-22 - 5 = -27

-27 -5 = -32

-32 -5  = -37

-37 - 32 = -69

Answer = -69

Y= -1/2(x+10)^2+14 Find the range
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1/2(x+10)^2+14

2y=-(x+10)^2+28

(x+10)^2=28-2y

L.H.S.  is  positive.

so 28-2y≥0

28≥2y

or 2y≤28

or y≤ 14

Range is (-∞,14]
