Answer:

if you see three consecutive numbers you can figure out that at least one of them is divisible by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use mathematical induction by proving it mathematically. for a number to be divisible by 6, it should be divisible by 2. Since all are even numbers the number will be divisible by 2.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12

miskamm [114]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

$\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4$

HELPPPP FIND THE AREA

GuDViN [60]

you can just split the figure in 2 separate figures and them add the areas:

area rec. 1:

3m×3m= 9m²

area rec. 2:

3m× (2m+3m)

= 3m×5m

=15m²

total area:

9m²+15m²= 24m²

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

the answer is 128.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To round up a number to the nearest tenth if the hundredth is more than or 5 you add 1 to the tenth but if it less than 5 you remove the other numbers and leave the number like that which will give you 128.4.
