A. Let s be the smallest integer
B. We must add 2 to get the next greater integer
C. Second integer is s+2
D. s+(s+2)=118
2•s+2=118
2s+2-2=118-2
2s=116
2s/2=116/2
s=58
If the smallest even integer is 58 the consecutive integer is 58+2=60
Verify
58+60=118 ✔️
Complete question :
Tom will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $57.98 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $53.98 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven. How many miles would Tom need to drive for the two plans to cost the same?
Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let miles driven = x
First option :
57.98 + 0.14x
Second option :
53.98 + 0.16x
First option = second option
57.98 + 0.14 = 53.98 + 0.16x
57.98 - 53.98 = 0.16x - 0.14x
4 = 0.02x
x = 200
200 miles
We have the following information:
first urn: 6 green balls and 3 red ones
total: 6 + 3 = 9
second urn: 3 green, 3 white and 3 red
total: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
third urn: 6 green, 1 white and 2 red
total: 6 + 1 + 2 = 9
a) A green ball is more likely to be obtained, since there are more green balls than red balls, which makes the probability higher.
b) probability of drawing a green, red and white ball.
first urn:
green = 6/9 = 66.66%
red = 3/9 = 33.33%
white = 0/9 = 0%
second urn:
green = 3/9 = 33.33%
red = 3/9 = 33.33%
white = 3/9 = 33.33%
third urn:
green = 6/9 = 66.66%
red = 2/9 = 22.22%
white = 1/9 = 11.11%
c) it would be chosen where the probability of drawing green would be the highest, which means that it would be possible both in the first and in the third ballot box, the probability is equal 66.66%
d) without a green ball, the third ballot box would look like this:
5 green balls, 2 red balls and 1 white ball, with a total of 8.
The probability of drawing would be:
green = 5/8 = 62.5%
red = 2/8 = 25%
white = 1/8 = 12.5%
So,
First, the conversion between pounds and ounces is:
1 lb. = 16 oz.
So:
18 lbs. = 16 * 18 = 288 oz.
Answer: B (2,1)
You know what y is (x-1) so you substitute that for y in the other equation.
3x+ ((4)(x-1))=10
3x+4x-4=10
7x=14
x=2
Then put x=2 into y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
