Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
The answer would be the last one.
Hi there! 4 * 4 is 16. The new measurements of the garden is 6 ft by 8 ft and 6 * 8 is 48. The new area of the garden is 48 square feet, which is 3 times the area of the original, because 48/16 is 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you didnt ask a question ??
The first property is commutative ( the numbers 38 and 677 are swapped over)
Then we have the associative property ( where the paretheses are moved to get 38 and -38 together)
then the additive inverse ( 38 + (-38) = 0
and finally to get the 677 we use the additive identity property.
