2 consecutive even numbers add to equal 178. What is the smallest of the 2 numbers?

The smallest number is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even number

x+2 --->the second consecutive even number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is given by

solve for x

so

therefore

The smallest number is 88

umm well get a bag pick up as mush as you can in the bag than use paper towls to cealn up the rest and put some soap on a towl too and srub it

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
