Required equation to determine two consecutive even number is x^{2}-16=0 and required numbers are 4 and 6.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that product of two consecutive positive integer is 14 more that their sum.  Need to create the equation and solve it to get two numbers.

Let’s assume first even number be represented by x.

So second consecutive even number will be x + 2  

Sum of two consecutive number = (x) + (x + 2)

\Rightarrow Sum of two consecutive number = 2x + 2

Product of two consecutive number = (x) \times(x+2)=x^{2}+2 x

Product of two consecutive number is 14 more that sum of two consecutive numbers, so if we subtract 14 from product, we will get sum.

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow\left(x^{2}+2 x\right)-14=2 x+2} \\\\ {=>x^{2}+2 x-2 x-14-2=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}-16=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}-4^{2}=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}=4^{2}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x=4}\end{array}

One even number = x=4

Other even number = x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

Hence required equation to determine two consecutive even number is x^2 -16 = 0 and required numbers are 4 and 6.

Hello! I have two Geometry problems I need help solving.
DedPeter [7]

Sorry i am late to the party but the snawer for the first problem is SAS.  We know that segment AD is congruent to segment CD becausse of those tick marks.  We also know that the angles towards the bottom of the diagram are congruent because they have the angle symbols.  Finally BD=BD because of the reflexive property.  We have a side an equal angle and finally another side.

Number 2 is SSS.  Segment PR is congruent to Segment NQ because of the tick marks (1 line of tick marks.)  In addition, PN=RQ because they both have 2 tick marks.  Lastly we know PQ=PQ because of the reflexive property.  We have a side, a side, and another side.

Help me get and explain how i do this
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1/78

Step-by-step explanation:

6 brown + 5 blue + 2 orange marbles = 13 marbles

P (orange1) = number of orange / total

                   = 2/ 13

Now we keep the marble

6 brown + 5 blue + 1 orange marbles = 12 marbles

P (orange2) = number of orange / total

                   = 1/ 12

P (orange, keep, orange) =P(orange1) + P( orange2)

                                              2/13*1/12 =  2/156 = 1/78

Solve the equation... 10x - 12 = 48 - 2x
hjlf
If you would like to solve the equation 10 * x - 12 = 48 - 2 * x, you can calculate this using the following steps:

10 * x - 12 = 48 - 2 * x
10 * x + 2 * x = 48 + 12
12 * x = 60   /12
x = 60 / 12
x = 5

The correct result is 5.

a transfer station charges $15 for a waste disposal permit and an additional $5 for each cubic yard of garbage it disposes of th
Lana71 [14]

Actually the given equation 15 + 5x is a linear equation. We can see that the equation is in the form of:

y = mx + b

where,

m = slope = 5

b = y intercept = 15

 

Since the slope is 5, therefore this means that changing the value of x by 1 changes the value of the cost of the permit by 5. So for every 1 change in x, there is a corresponding 5 change in the cost of the permit.
