First, get common denominators
At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers
27/8 + x = 44/8
Subtract 27/8 from both sides
x = 2 1/8 pounds
Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs

if the lesser of two consecutive even integers is seven more than half the greater, what are the two integers?
beks73 [17]

Answer: 16 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lesser of two consecutive even integers is x.

Hence, the bigger of two consecutive even integers is (x+2).

\displaystyle\\x-\frac{x+2}{2}=7 \\

Multiply both parts of the equation by 2:

x(2)-(x+2)=7(2)\\2x-x-2=14\\x-2=14\\x-2+2=14+2\\x=16\\x+2=16+2\\x+2=18

Is the equation y=3x + 10 proportional? Explain how you know
Tom [10]

Answer: Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x and y coordinates form proportional relationships, then there is some non-changing number (a constant) that when multiplied times x will create y. In this example, that number is 3 (y = 3x), and is called the constant of proportionality. ... It is a positive number.

Briony invests some money. Interest is paid on the money at a rate of 2% per annum for the first year and 1% per annum for the s
nalin [4]

Answer:

Brionny invested £8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.

First year:

Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.

So the interest earned is:

E = P*I*t = P*0.02*1 = 0.02P

The total amount at the end of the first year is:

T = E + P = 0.02P + P = 1.02P

Second year:

We have that:

P = 1.02P

The interest earned is of:

E = P*I*t = 1.02P*0.01*1 = 0.0102P

The total amount is:

T = E + P = 0.0102P + 1.02P = 1.0302P

After two years, the investment is worth £8653.68 How much did Briony invest?

So

1.0302P = 8653.68

P = \frac{8653.68}{1.0302}

P = 8400

Brionny invested £8400.
