Hey there!
2x+1=73.
2x=72.
x=36<span>.
</span>
So the 2 consecutive numbers are 72 and 36!
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution A = -5 is not viable because A represents the amount of sale in dollars and so cannot be a negative number. The minimum amount that a person can make from sales is $0 so anything less than that is not viable.
For instance, if you are selling shoes for $4 each and make no sales in the day, your sales would be $0. It is not possible that your sales would be -$4.
You just do 40 times 0.825 and you will get your answer.
2y+1=0.5+y.
Hope this helps!
