I need a question to answer first.
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
18.5•40=740
40•1.5=60
60•5.5=330
740+330=1070
A: $1070
The answer is (x+5) (3x+2)
$3.78
because he is paid $0.14 per pound, if he brings 27 pounds it is
=0.14 x 27
=3.78
