Answer:

d. 3x + 6 = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions

Integer: a whole number that can be positive, negative or zero.
e.g. ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Even number: an integer that is exactly divisible by two. For example, 2, 4, 6, 8 are all positive even numbers.
Consecutive: following one after the other in order.

The sum of three consecutive even integers

Let x be the first even integer.

As there is a difference of 2 between consecutive even integers, the next even integer after x will be (x + 2).

Therefore, the next even integer after (x + 2) will be (x + 2) + 2 = (x + 4).

So "the sum of three consecutive even integers is twenty-six" is:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 26

To solve

⇒ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 26

⇒ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 26

⇒ 3x + 6 = 26

(Please note that there are no three consecutive even integers that sum to 26, so the problem cannot be solved).

Using specific data, we find a significant difference in the proportion of fruit flies surviving after 13 days between those eat

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Test statistic:

z = (0.67 - 0.63) / 0.033 = 1.21

p - Value = P(z > 1.21) = 0.106

My conclusion: Fail to reject null hypothesis

No, there is no evidence of a difference

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 55% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 80% p

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

First type of fruit drinks: 48 pints

Second type of fruit drinks: 32 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first type of fruit drinks. 55% pure fruit juice

Let's call B the amount of second type of fruit drinks. 80% pure fruit juice

The resulting mixture should have 65% pure fruit juice and 80 pints.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 80$

Then the total amount of pure fruit juice in the mixture will be:

$0.55A + 0.8B = 0.65 * 80$

$0.55A + 0.8B = 52$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.8 and add it to the second equation:

$-0.8A -0.8B = -0.8*80$

$-0.8A -0.8B = -64$

$0.55A + 0.8B = 52$

--------------------------------------

$-0.25A = -12$

$A = \frac{-12}{-0.25}$

$A = 48\ pints$

We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.

$48 + B = 80$

$B = 32\ pints$

Sam needs to cut a piece of sheet metal into 8 pieces. It takes him 5minutes to make each cut. How many cuts will sam make?

Virty [35]

This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.
