The answer would be 901 because they said what is the least number they would need to read and their goal is MORE than 900. The amount of books that they already had is useless information (Ignore). They love giving trick questions. :)

Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+2} = \frac{9}{40} ← combine the fractions on the left side

\frac{x+2+x}{x(x+2)} = \frac{9}{40}

\frac{2x+2}{x^2+2x} = \frac{9}{40} ( cross- multiply )

9(x² + 2x) = 40(2x + 2) ← distribute both sides

9x² + 18x = 80x + 80 ( subtract 80x + 80 from both sides )

9x² - 62x - 80 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 9 × - 80 = - 720 and sum = - 62

The factors are - 72 and + 10

Use these factors to split the x- term

9x² - 72x + 10x - 80 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

9x(x - 8) + 10(x - 8) = 0 ← factor out (x - 8) from each term

(x - 8)(9x + 10) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8

9x + 10 = 0 ⇒ 9x = - 10 ⇒ x = - \frac{10}{9}

x is an integer , then x = 8 and x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

The integers are 8 and 10

Write an equation that represents the relationship.Please help!
swat32

Answer:

n = r - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

7 4.5

8 5.5

10 7.5

12 9.5

Now, what we will do is what happens if we subtract each one:

7 - 4.5 = 2.5

8 - 5.5 = 2.5

10 - 7.5  = 2.5

12 - 9.5 = 2.5

The difference is always kept constant, therefore the equation would be:

n = r - 2.5

Round off 5012 to the nearest 1000​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 5 is in the thousands place and it is asking his neighbor 0 for help and since 0 is it a 5 or above he can't help 5 so 5 has to stay at 5,000 and can't go to 6.

I'm sorry I was late but I think this could still help you I hope have a great day:)
