5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1

x*(x+1)= 420

Use distributive property

x*x + x*1 = 420

x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.

A self-tanning lotion advertises that a 4 -oz bottle will provide seven applications. Jen found a great deal on a 13 -oz bott

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

22.75 applications

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we understand that:

4 -oz bottle = 7 applications

13 -oz bottle = x applications

Cross Multiply

4 -oz bottle × x applications = 13 -oz bottle × 7 applications

x applications = 13 -oz bottle × 7 applications/4 -oz bottle

x applications = 22.75 applications

Therefore, the number of applications of the 13 -oz bottle self-tanner that should Jen expect is 22.75 applications.

What is the solution to the equation 41/5 =15-(2x+3)

likoan [24]

$\frac{41}{5}=15-(2x+3) \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=15-2x-3 \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=12^{(5}-2x^{(5} \\\\ 41=60-10x \\\\ 41-60=-10x \\\\ -19=-10x \\\\ 19=10x \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{19}{10}}$
