Answer:
I don't know for sure but is 69 an option? is so that might be it
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.
1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21
So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:
84(8/21) = 32 people
X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
None of the above. The first two are slope-intercept, whereas the third one isn't a form.
