Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of a number is 17 . find the number

divide 17 by 20 and you find 1%, multiply by 100 and you get 100%

x = 17 : 20 * 100

x = 0.85 * 100

x = 85

what is consecutive whole numbers? I have to write an algebraic expression for the sum of three consecutive whole numbers... :(

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Consecutive whole numbers (or integers) are numbers that directly follow one another.

Eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are consecutive whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, x+2, x+4. The sum is 3x+6, which is equal to 108.

let the three consecutive whole numbers is x, x+1,and x+2

x + x+1 + x+2 = 4+2(x+1)

3x+3=4+2x+2

3x-2x=6-3

x=3

the other two numbers are 3+1=4,and 3+2=5

so the three numbers are 3,4 and 5

Layana’s house is located at (2 and two-thirds, 7 and one-third) on a map. The store where she works is located at (–1 and one-t

NeTakaya

We have been given that Layana’s house is located at $(2\frac{2}{3}, 7\frac{1}{3})$ on a map. The store where she works is located at $(-1\frac{1}{3}, 7\frac{1}{3})$ .

We are asked to find the distance from Layana’s home to the store

We will use distance formula to solve our given problem.

Let us convert our given coordinates in improper fractions.

$2\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{8}{3}$

$7\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{22}{3}$

$-1\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow -\frac{4}{3}$

Now we will use distance formula to solve our given problem.

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Upon substituting coordinates of our given point in above formula, we will get:

$D=\sqrt{(\frac{22}{3}-\frac{22}{3})^2+(\frac{8}{3}-(-\frac{4}{3}))^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(0)^2+(\frac{8}{3}+\frac{4}{3})^2}$

$D=\sqrt{0+(\frac{8+4}{3})^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(\frac{12}{3})^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(4)^2}$

$D=4$

Therefore, the distance from Layana's home to the store is 4 units and option A is the correct choice.

Explain how you know which method you should use to solve a rational equation.

notsponge [240]

Methods to solve rational equation:

Rational equation:

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one rational expression.

Method 1:

The method for solving rational equations is to rewrite the rational expressions in terms of a common denominator. Then, since we know the numerators are equal, we can solve for the variable.

For example,

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=1$
