Find the second of two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 798

1 answer:

7 0

To set up consecutive even integers you use x for the first integer and x + 2 for the second integer. You add 2 since you are going to the next EVEN instead of just the next integer. Now we set up an equation = 798 and solve.
x + x + 2 = 798
2x + 2 = 798
subtract -2 from both sides
2x = 796
divide by 2 on both sides
x = 398
x + 2 = 398 + 2 = 400
CHECK 398 + 400 = 798

Answer:

799.99999 or 800 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to find the conversion rate, so you divide 500 by the number representing it on the map, that being 1.7 feet. Once you've done this, you will get a conversion rate of 294. Now that you have the conversion rate, you multiply your second number, 2.72. This will give you your answer of 799.68 miles, which can be rounded up to 800 miles.
