9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 6 even integers is the odd integer halfway between the first three and the last three. That average value is 126/6 = 21, so the 4th integer is 21+1 = 22.

_____

All 6 are {16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26}.

Dmitriy789 [7]

The other factor is

$3x^2 - 10x + 8 = 3x^2 -6x -4x + 8 \\
= 3x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) \\
= (3x - 4)(x-2)$

pheobe has 9 rocks. she puts the rocks into 3 boxes. Each box 1 more rock then the last. How many rocks are in each box

Svetllana [295]

Hello!

We can write this as the system of equations below. We have boxes A, B, and C.

A+B+C=9
B=A+1
C=B+1

First of all we can plug our B and C values into the first equation and solve for A.

A+A+1+A+1+1=9
3a+3=9
3a=6
a=2

Now we can plug our a value into the other equations.

B=2+1
B=3

C=3+1
C=4

Therefore, there are 2 rocks in one box, three in another, and 4 in the last.

I hope this helps!
