The small number is 2.

The large number is 3.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.

  • x be the small integer.
  • x+1 be the large integer.

The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer

The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)

It is given that,

  • The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • Here, the small integer is represented as x.

<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>

(2x+1) = 3x-1

Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,

3x-2x = 1+1

x = 2

Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.

1. 5514 divided by 82 you have to find out how many times 82 goes into 551 (because it won't go into 5 or 55 now 82 goes into 551 6 times and you multiply 82 and 6 to get 492 (which is the closest you can get to 551 without going over) now you subtract 551-492 to get 59 now you carry down your 4 and add it to the end of the equation and your number changes into 594 now 82 times 7 is 574 when you subtract you get 20 now you add a decimal point and you carry down the 0 to make your number 200 now you do 82 times 2 to get 164 when you subtract you get 36 now you carry down the 0 and get 360 so you multiply 82 by 4 to get 328 so your answer is 67.24.Hope this helps. I can add a picture if you need one.

Did I find the area of the composite figures correctly in the pic? If not, help pls?
Annette [7]
No, in problem 1
you said that area of triangle=bh when it should be 1/2bh
the area should be 9 not 18 so triange=9
aera of rectangle is correct
so
27+9=36 in^2 is answer



2. it is 1 rectangle 1 triangle 1 square  you forgot the square
rectangle=12 times 4=48
square=4 times 4=16
triangle=1/2bh=1/2(8)4=16
add

48+16+16=80 in^2


remember that
triangle=1/2(base times height)
draw immaginary lines and split shapes, it could help to seperate shapes or/and mmove them around and regroup them
