Find three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 1884.

Mathematics

Scilla [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

smallest number=626

middle number=628

larger number=630

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the numbers, let's use n as the variable. Since we know that the numbers are consecutive even numbers, we know that they increase by 2. For example, we could have 2+4+6=12.

Knowing that the consecutive numbers increase by two's, we can use this.

smallest number: n

middle number: n+2

larger number: n+4

All we have to do is add these together and set it equal to 1884.

n+(n+2)+(n+4)=1884          [combine like terms]

3n+6=1884                         [subtract both sides by 6]

3n=1878                              [divide both sides by 3]

n=626

Now that we know n=626, we also know that the other numbers are 626, 628, 630 respectively.

2x + 3y = 1470
Minus 2x from both sides gives
3y = 1470 - 2x
divide through by 3
y = 490 - 2/3x

Which one is correct?????!!!!!!!
Anton [14]
F(x) = 10 - 4x 

You must know that f(x) is technically "y" (the right side of the ( not this place ,this place ) )

A) (2, -18)

f(x) = 10 - 4x
-18 = 10 - 4(2)
WRONG!!

B) (18, -2)
f(x) = 10 - 4x
-2 = 10 - 4(18)
WRONG!!

C) (-2, 18)
f(x) = 10 - 4x
18 = 10 - 4(-2)
18 = 10 + 8       (two negatives numbers multiplied together=positive number)
18 = 18

Correct!

your answer is <span>C

hope this helps :D

the probabilities of having 0,1,2,3, or 4 people waiting in line at a grocery store are shown in the probability distribution be
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the probability distribution :

X _____ 0 ____1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____4

P(x) _ 0.16 _ 0.41 _ 0.32 __ 0.09 __ 0.02

Expected number of people waiting in line :

E(X) = Σ(x * p(x))

E(X) = (0*0.16) + (1*0.41) + (2*0.32) + (3*0.09) + (4*0.02)

E(X) = 1.4

1) 15 = 2W - 5<br> 2) 24 = 2x - 9
zavuch27 [327]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1) W = 10

  2) x = 33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

These are 2-step linear equations. Step 1: Add the opposite of the constant on the right. Step 2: Divide by the coefficient of the variable.

__

1) 15 = 2W -5

  20 = 2W . . . . . add +5

  10 = W . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

2) 24 = 2x -9

  33 = 2x . . . . . add +9

  33/2 = x . . . . divide by 2

_____

As always, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side. That is, the same number is added to both sides; both sides are divided by the same number.
