X, x+1, x+2, x+3, ... - consecutive integers

75 as the sum of two consecutive integers:
x+x+1=75 \\
2x+1=75 \\ 2x=75-1 \\
2x=74 \\
x=\frac{74}{2} \\
x=37 \\ \\ \boxed{75=37+38}

75 as the sum of three consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2=75 \\
3x+3=75 \\
3x=75-3 \\
3x=72 \\
x=\frac{72}{3} \\
x=24 \\ \\ \boxed{75=24+25+26}

75 as the sum of six consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5=75 \\
6x+15=75 \\
6x=75-15 \\
6x=60 \\
x=\frac{60}{6} \\
x=10 \\ \\
\boxed{75=10+11+12+13+14+15}

75 as the sum of ten consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+...+x+7+x+8+x+9= 75 \\
10x+45=75 \\
10x=75-45 \\
10x=30 \\
x=\frac{30}{10} \\
x=3 \\ \\
\boxed{75=3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12}

The four sequences begin with: 3, 10, 24, 37.

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Tatiana [17]
If you would like to know the solution to the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

y = –5x + 3
<span>y = 1
</span>_______________
1 =<span> –5x + 3</span> 
5x = 3 - 1
5x = 2    /5
x = 2/5 = 0.4

(x, y) = (0.4, 1)

The correct result would be (0.4, 1<span>).</span>

So, 1725 would be 1 and a half month's pay of rent.

The equation would be 1725 divided by 1.5 since that would get us what the two friends paid for one month of rent. Let r= rent.

1725/1.5= r

1725/1.5= 1150

So, rent would equal $1150.

I hope this helps!

The scatter plot shows the wages of employees.
Paladinen [302]

(1) The expected number of copies sold is 75

(2) The expected wage is $720

Explanation:

From the graph, we can see that x represents the number of copiers sold.

y represents the wages.

The equation of the graph is y=6x+120

(1) Given that an employee earn $570.

We need to determine the number of copiers sold.

Let us substitute y=570 in the equation y=6x+120, we get,

570=6x+120

450=6x

 75=x

Thus, the number of copiers sold is 75

(2) Given that if an employee sells 100 copiers, we need to determine the expected wage.

Let us substitute x=100 in the equation y=6x+120, we get,

y=6(100)+120

y=600+120

y=720

Thus, the expected wage is $720
