The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 36. What is the smallest numbers ?

The numbers are 11,12,13

The smallest number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

The next number is x+1

The third number is x+2

x+x+1+x+2 = 36

Combine like terms

3x+3 = 36

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = 36-3

3x=33

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 33/3

x=11

The numbers are 11,12,13

The smallest number is 11

fourth month

step-by-step explanation:

it is the one with the most keychains.

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
