Answer:
smallest number=626
middle number=628
larger number=630
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the numbers, let's use n as the variable. Since we know that the numbers are consecutive even numbers, we know that they increase by 2. For example, we could have 2+4+6=12.
Knowing that the consecutive numbers increase by two's, we can use this.
smallest number: n
middle number: n+2
larger number: n+4
All we have to do is add these together and set it equal to 1884.
n+(n+2)+(n+4)=1884 [combine like terms]
3n+6=1884 [subtract both sides by 6]
3n=1878 [divide both sides by 3]
n=626
Now that we know n=626, we also know that the other numbers are 626, 628, 630 respectively.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Number of bottles = 6
Number of cans = c
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Container for selling water :
17 oz bottle
11 oz can
Let number of bottles = b
Number of cans = c
b + c = 11 - - - (1)
17b + 11c = 157 - - - (2)
b = 11 - c
Substitute into (2)
17(11 - c) + 11c = 157
187 - 17c + 11c = 157
187 - 6c = 157
-6c = 157 - 187
-6c = -30
c = 30/6
c = 5
From ; b = 11 - c
b = 11 - 5
b = 6
Hence,
Number of bottles = 6
Number of cans = c
I believe its 27 cause u have to multiply 3 times 3 which is 9, then 3 times 9 which is 27
