The sum of the first and third of three consecutive even integers is 154. Find the three even integers.

1 answer:

5 0

X + (x+2) = 154
combine like terms
2x + 2 = 154
subtract 2
2x = 154
divide by 2
x = 76

so the two numbers are 76 and 78

Find the slope of a line parallel to this given line

dybincka [34]

bearing in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then any parallel line to the one above will have the same slope as that one.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \qquad \implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{7}{3}}x-4$

Can somebody please solve this? It's a coordinate thingy

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Coordinates involve two points. (x,y)

Too find a pair (coordinate), use the x and y lines on the graph and see where the point falls.

For example

Point A is number 1 on the y axis

number -4 on the x axis

So, you would write the coordinate out at 

(-4,1)

The y axis values are the second point, so after you plot all of letters, use the y axis numbers and number them from least to greatest so you can find the mystery word.

(30 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST FOR BEST)

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Part A)

Multiply the amount he earned by 8.5%

8.5% written as a decimal is 0.085.

75,000 x 0.085 = $6,375

Part B)

Subtract the amount of tax from his earnings:

75,000 - 6,375 = $68,625

A sales person earns a commission based on the number and type of vehicle sold. A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns 4,800

AURORKA [14]

Assign variables to you unknowns.

c = $ cars
t = $ trucks

6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600

use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.

6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $

use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.

8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $

question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $
