Answer: 16 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lesser of two consecutive even integers is x.

Hence, the bigger of two consecutive even integers is (x+2).

$\displaystyle\\x-\frac{x+2}{2}=7 \\$

Multiply both parts of the equation by 2:

$x(2)-(x+2)=7(2)\\2x-x-2=14\\x-2=14\\x-2+2=14+2\\x=16\\x+2=16+2\\x+2=18$

Answer:

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the first inequality

Find the equation of the first solid line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,-2) and (2,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0+2}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{2}{2}$

$m=1$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=1$

$b=-2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=x-2$

Remember that

Everything to the left of the solid line is shaded

The inequality is

$y\geq x-2$

step 2

Find the equation of the second inequality

Find the equation of the second dashed line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,2) and (4,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0-2}{4-0}$

$m=\frac{-2}{4}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

$b=2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2$

Remember that

Everything below and to the left of the line is shaded

The inequality is

$y$

Rewrite

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2y$

$x+2y$

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Answer:

8 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 and 2 because y=5x +3 would be 5+3 which is 8 and y= 3x - 1 would be 3 - 1 which equals 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=3/2±(√11)2

x=1.5+1.65831i

x=1.5−1.65831i

Find the Solution for

2x^22−6x+10=0

using the Quadratic Formula where

a = 2, b = -6, and c = 10

x=(−b±√(b^2−4ac))/2a

x=(−(−6)±√((−6)2−4(2)(10)))2(2)

x=(6±√(36−80))/4

x=(6±√−44)/4

The discriminant b^2−4ac<0

so, there are two complex roots.

Simplify the Radical:

x=(6±2√11 i)/4

x=6/4±(2√11 i)4

Simplify fractions and/or signs:

x=3/2±(√11)2

which becomes

x=1.5+1.65831i

x=1.5−1.65831i
