Answer:

14, 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even numbers be (2x) and (2x+  2)

Twice the smaller number = 2*2x = 4x

Sum  = 44

4x  + 2x + 2 = 44

 Combine like terms

     6x + 2 = 44

Now, subtract 2 from both sides

              6x = 44 -2

              6x = 42

Divide both sides by 6

                x = 42/6

                x = 7

2x = 2*7 =14

2x + 2 = 2*7 + 2

          = 14 + 2

          = 16

Answer:

14,16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first even number.

Let y be the 2nd even number.

Given, y - x = 2 (Since they are 2 consecutive even numbers.)

rearranging the equation: y = x+2 (equation 1)

Also given,

y+2x=44\\ (equation 2)

Now we can substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to find x.

x+2+2x = 44\\3x+2 = 44\\3x = 44-2\\3x=42\\x = \frac{42}{3} \\x = 14

Given the smaller even number x, is 14, we will substitute x into equation1 to find y, the bigger even number.

y = 14+2

= 16

Therefore the 2 numbers are 14 and 16.

Instruction: use the ratio of a 30-60-90 triangle to solve for the variables. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.u=
almond37 [142]

Let's start by identify a 30-60-90 triangle

If we compare those two traingles we can stablish the following relation:

\begin{gathered} a\sqrt[]{3}=6\sqrt[]{3} \\  \end{gathered}

Therefore, a=6

u is the opposite side to the 90° angle, therefore

\begin{gathered} u=2a \\ u=2\cdot6 \\ u=12 \end{gathered}

on the other hand, v is the opposite side to the 30° angles, so

\begin{gathered} v=a \\ v=6 \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation:

85/100 cross multiply x/40

100x/100=3400/100

x=3400/100

3400/100=34

x=34

4. Find x if PQ = RS,<br> PQ = 9x - 7, and RS = 29.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know that PQ = RS, we can use the transitive property to replace PQ in the first equation with 29:

9x-7=29

1) Add 7 to both sides:

9x=36

2) divide by 9 on both sides:

x=4
