The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

The correct option is B): "Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer."
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

zysi [14]

Answer:

the answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of coconut milk in the cocktail is ml for every 15 ml of orange juice.

Proportion shows the fractional composition of a given quantity or substance.

So that:

orange juice = 15 ml

contents of the orange juice;

apple juice = 25 ml

coconut milk = 10 ml

total = 35 ml

So that;

the fraction of apple juice in the orange juice = x 15

the fraction of apple juice in the orange juice = ml

Also,

the fraction of coconut juice in the orange juice = x 15

the fraction of coconut juice in the orange juice = ml

Therefore, the proportion of the cocktail that is coconut milk is: for every 15 ml of orange juice, then ml of coconut juice is required.

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in July was 55,000, In November, the number of tourists per weekend was 18,000.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The percentage change from July to November is 67.27 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in the month of July = $x_1$ = 55,000

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in the month of November = $x_2$ = 18,000

Let the percentage change from July to November = A %

Or, % decrease change = $\dfrac{\tetxtrm new value - \textrm old value}{\textrm old value}$ × 100

So , A % = $\dfrac{\tetxtrm [tex]x_2$ - \textrm $x_1$ }{\textrm $x_1$ }[/tex] × 100

or, A % = $\frac{55000 - 18000}{55000}$ × 100

Or, A % = $\frac{37000}{55000}$ × 100

Or, A = 67.27 %

So percentage change between two months = 67.27 %

Hence The percentage change from July to November is 67.27 % Answer

A train company charges a flat fee of $175, plus $2.50 per mile for a bus. If the band paid exactly $1,875 for three buses, how

Art [367]

Answer:

680 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1,875=2.5x+175

Minus 175 each side.

1,700=2.5x

Divide both sides by 2.5

680=x

If the band travels 680 miles for $2.50 each mile, plus the flat fee of 175. The total will be 1,875.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$\frac{31}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of graduates with loan = 62%

total sample = 50

Number of student in the sample with student loan

= (percentage of graduates with loan) x (total sample)

= 62% x 50

= 31

Proportion of student in the sample with student loan = $\frac{31}{50}$
