If the sum of four consecutive numbers is 854, what is the third one?

lukranit [14]

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214

Some of the students three scores is 231. If the first is 20 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 more

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The first score is 109

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that in the first sentence of the question, you meant:

Sum of the students three scores is 231...

First, let the scores of the first second and third student be a, b and c respectively. We are told that:

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . . . .(1) (sum of students three scores is 231)

a = b + 20 . . . . . . . . . . . (2) (the first is 20 points more than the second)

a + b = 6c . . . . . . . . . . . .(3) (sum of the first two is 6 more times the third)

required, find a.

substituting the value of (a + b) in equation (3) into equation (1), we will have the following:

since a + b = 6c . . . (3)

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . (1), becomes,

(a + b) + c = 231

(6c) + c = 231

7c = 231 (divide both sides by 7)

c = 231 ÷ 7 = 33

∴ c = 33

Next, from equation (2), we know that a = b + 20; this can also be written as:

a - 20 = b

∴ b = a - 20 . . . . . . . (4)

Finally, putting the value of b in equation (4) and the value of c calculated above into equation 1, ( a + b + c = 231), we have the following:

a + (a - 20) + 33 = 231

(a + a) - 20 + 33 = 231

2a + 13 = 231

2a = 231 - 13 = 218

a = 218 ÷ 2 = 109

∴ a = 109

we can also calculate for 'b' by substituting for the value of 'a' in equation 4

b = a - 20 = 109 - 20 = 89.

and to test if the values of a, b and c are correct:

a + b + c = 231

109 + 89 + 33 = 231

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 5 ftys along

Sever21 [200]

25/3 ft/s is speed of the tip of his shadow moving when a man is 40 ft from the pole given that a street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole and the man is 6 ft tall who is walking away from the pole with a speed of 5 ft/s along a straight path. This can be obtained by considering this as a right angled triangle.

<h3>How fast is the tip of his shadow moving?</h3>

Let x be the length between man and the pole, y be the distance between the tip of the shadow and the pole.

Then y - x will be the length between the man and the tip of the shadow.

Since two triangles are similar, we can write

$\frac{y-x}{y} =\frac{6}{15}$

⇒15(y-x) = 6y

15 y - 15 x = 6y

9y = 15x

y = 15/9 x

y = 5/3 x

Differentiate both sides

dy/dt = 5/3 dx/dt

dy/dt is the speed of the tip of the shadow, dx/dt is the speed of the man.

Given that dx/dt = 5 ft/s

Thus dy/dt = (5/3)×5 ft/s

dy/dt = 25/3 ft/s

Hence 25/3 ft/s is speed of the tip of his shadow moving when a man is 40 ft from the pole given that a street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole and the man is 6 ft tall who is walking away from the pole with a speed of 5 ft/s along a straight path.
