Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4

x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0

-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0

-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0

-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6

So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10

Someone Please Help!!! <br> Find the radian measure of an angle of -280 degrees
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>Answer: -4.88691778Solution:1.Write down the number of degrees you want to convert to radians   Given Degree = -280° The formula to convert degrees to radian measure is:Radian =  degree x π/180 2. Multiply the number of degrees by π/180. Think of it like multiplying two fractions: the first fraction has the number of degrees in the numerator and "1" in the denominator, and the second fraction has π in the numerator and 180 in the denominator. -280 x π/180 = -280π/1803. Find the largest number that can evenly divide into the numerator and denominator of each fraction and use it to simplify each fraction. The largest number for 280 is 20.-280 x π/180 = -280π/180 ÷ 20/20 = -14π /9 4. Then multiply the numerator by 3.14159 because pi or π  is equivalent to 3.14159, -14x 3.14159= -43.982265. To get the radian measure, we will divide -43.98226 by 9. -43.98226/9= -4.88691778

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
My name is Ann [436]

x = 2  \\ y = 7

is the answer to:

y = 11 - 2x \\ 4x - 3y =  - 13

_________________________________________

x = 5 \\ y = 2

is the answer to:

2x + y = 12 \\ x = 9 - 2y

_________________________________________

x = 3 \\ y = 5

is the answer to:

2x + y = 11 \\ x - 2y =  - 7

_________________________________________

x = 7 \\ y = 3

is the answer to:

x + 3y = 16 \\ 2x - y = 11
