Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.
And we solve from there:
So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.

Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.
Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6
= 34 + 6x
Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be
30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7
= 23 + 7x
Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then
34 + 6x = 23 + 7x
7x - 6x = 34 - 23
x = 11

4 I guess..........not sure but my answer is 4
-6, because you can see a pattern in which the x coordinate of each pair is reversed to the opposite value, from positive to negative.
