x\ \ \rightarrow\ \  the\ first\ number\\y\ \ \rightarrow\ \  the\ second\ number\\\\ y=2\cdot x-8\\\\for\ example:\\\\x=-2\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot(-2)-8=-4-8=-12\\x=0\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot0-8=0-8=-8\\x=7\ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ y=2\cdot7-8=14-8=6\\

So the two numbers can be represented as x and y

so x is first and y is second

y=2(x)-8

so y=2x-8


IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then 
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8 
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10 
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)

Jacob is a construction worker who earns a yearly Income given by the expression 2000x + 6000, where X is the number of
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Answer:

The manager's prediction is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jacob: 2000x + 4000

Carlos: 3500x - 40000

Required

Determine if both expression will be the same if x = 35

To do this;

Equate both expressions and then solve for x

i.e.

2000x+4000=3500x-40000

Collect Like Terms

2000x+4000=3500x-40000

-1500x=-44000

Divide both sides by -1500

\frac{-1500}{-1500} = \frac{-44000}{-1500} \\= \frac{-44000}{-1500}\\x= -29.3

Hence, the manager's prediction is not true because x\neq35
