The desired answer is probably that
2x + 1 = 67
is the equation that can be used to solve the problem. In this case, x represents the smallest integer.
_____
I like to work problems in consecutive integers by considering their average. Here, it is 67/2 = 33.5. The two consecutive integers whose average is 33.5 are 33 and 34, the solution to the problem. For this, the first equation applies, where x is the value halfway between the two integers. (This answer (2x=67) would likely get marked wrong by your computer grading system.)
Answer:
40% discount
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original price and subtract the new price
20-12
The discount is 8
Divide the discount by the original price
8/20 =.4
Multiply by 100 to get the percent
.4 * 100 = 40%
There is a 40 percent discount
Answer:
29° + (x - 5)° = 180°
29 + x - 5 = 180
29 - 5 + x = 180
24 + x = 180
24 - 24 + x = 180 - 24
x = 156
Step-by-step explanation:
A straight line is 180°.
Set all angles (29° and (x - 5)°) equal to 180°.
Then solve for x.
Alex and her friend were trying to find who had more pieces of candy. Her friend had 20. Alex had x but lost 13 of them. They found out that Alex had more.
So, x-13>20
