The correct option is B): "<span>Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer.</span><span>"
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."
Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2.
So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.
Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2'
thus
x + (x+2) = 28
therefore,
x + x + 2 = 28
now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore,
2x = 26
now dividing throughout by 2 we get:
x = 13
therefore,
x + 2 = 13+2
= 15
therefore, the numbers are
13 AND 15</span>
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
if x has to be greater than -15 and -20 = x than its not true because -20 isn't greater than -15
Answer: 9.73 lb each chair
Step-by-step explanation:
You substract the weight of the table alone from the full weight:
235.68 - 157.84=77.84
Then you divide 77.84 by 8 chairs and you obtain the weight of each individual chair
77.84/8= 9.73 the weight of each individual chair
Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
- Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s
⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s
⇒ 72 = 100s
⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72
