82, 84, and 86 are your three consecutive even integers.
-0.2 is not a possible value of x because lengths cannot be negative.
Answer:
27.968 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
1) we need to find 8% of 32:
32*0.08=2.56
so 8% of 32 is 2.56 mins.
we need to subtract 2.56 by 32 since its says the times was cut by 8%
so
32-2.56=29.44
now 5% of 29.44:
29.44*0.05=1.472
1.472 mins
so
29.44-1.472=27.968
Hope this helps!
