Answer:

13 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two consecutive integers.

Let's call the first integer a.

Since the integers are consecutive, the other integer must be (a+1) (one more than the last one).

We know that the sum of the greatest integer (or a+1) and twice the lesser integer (a) is 40. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(a+1)+2(a)=40

The first term represents the greatest integer. The second term represents 2 times the lesser integer. And together, they equal 40.

Solve for a. Combine like terms:

a+1+2a=40\\3a+1=40

Subtract 1 from both sides. The 1s on the left cancel:

(3a+1)-1=(40)-1\\3a=39

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{39}{3}\\a=13

Therefore, a or the first integer is 13.

And the second integer is 14.

And we can check:

14+2(13)=14+26=40

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

<u>According to the question, </u>

★ Greatest integer = x + 1

★ Lesser integer = x

The sum of the greatest integer and twice the lesser integer is 40. [ Given ]

⇒ ( x + 1 ) + 2 ( x ) = 40

⇒ x + 1 + 2x = 40

⇒ 3x + 1 = 40

⇒ 3x = 40 - 1

⇒ 3x = 39

⇒ x = 39/3

⇒ x = 13

★ x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

3x+4y = 375
6x+ 4y= 600
-------------------
6x-3x  = 600 - 375

3x=225
x=225:3
x=75 cents

3*x+4y= 375
3*75+4y=375
225 +4y = 375
4y=375-225
4y=150
y=150:4
y=37,5 cents

the price is 75+37,5=112,5 cents for one bag of potato chips and one candy bar

Triangle KML and triangle PRQ are shown in the figure belowK404008 cms4 cms10 cmsOL3 cms6 cmsRM17) Are these triangles similar?1
s2008m [1.1K]

Two triangles are similar if the only difference between them is the size, this means that their internal angles must be the same. If we look at the picture the first triangle has one angle equal to 40 degrees, one equal to 80 degrees and the third one is unkown (x). The second triangle has one angle equal to 40 degrees, one equal to 60 degrees and the third one is unkown (y). The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees, with this information we can find the values of the missing angles. We have:

\begin{gathered} 40+80+x=180 \\ 120+x\text{ = 180} \\ x\text{ = 180-120=60} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} 40+60+y=180 \\ 100+y=180 \\ y=180-100=80 \end{gathered}

Therefore the internal angles of the first triangle are (40,80,60) and the angles of the second triangle are (40,80,60) as well, therefore they are similar.

Two triangles are congruent if they have sides with the same length. Which is not the case, because the sides of one triangle is (8, 10, 6) while the other is (4,3 and unkown). Therefore they are not congruent.
