20. The sum of two consecutive even integers is 158. Find the least of the two integers.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

The tricky part of this is figuring out how to assign the unknowns. We are told that we are working with two consecutive even integers. Consecutive means "next to" or "in order" and sum means to add. If we use 2 and 4 as examples of our 2 consecutive even integers and assign x to 2, then in order to get from 2 to 4 we have to add 2. So the lesser of the 2 integers is x, and the next one in order will be x + 2. (2 and 4 are just used as examples; they mean nothing to the solving of this particular problem. You could pick any 2 even consecutive integers and find the same rule applies. All we are doing here with the example numbers is finding a rule for our integers.) Now we have the 2 expressions for the integers, we will add them together and set the sum equal to 158:

x + (x + 2) = 158

The parenthesis are unnecessary since we are adding, so when we combine like terms we get

2x + 2 = 158 and

2x = 156 and

x = 78

That means that the lesser of the 2 integers in 78, and the next one in order would be 80, and 78 + 80 = 158

A map has a scale of 3 cm and 20 cm which statement is true or false two cities are actually 66 cm part are9.9 cm part

victus00 [196]

Answer:
Answer options
A. Two cities that are 7.5 cm apart on the map are actually 50 km apart.
D. Two cities that are actually 66 km apart are 9.9 cm apart on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Indicate the scale as shown;
3 cm : 20 km, meaning 3 cm on the map represents 20 km on the ground
A). what does 7.5 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(7.5×20)/3=50 km
B). what does 4 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(4×20)/3=26.67 km
C). what does 45 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on map=(45×3)/20=6.75 cm
D). what does 66 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on the map=(66×3)/20=9.9 cm

Enter the correct answer in the box. Function g is the result of these transformations on the parent sine function: vertical str

Llana [10]

Answer:

By substituting the values of A, C, and D the equation modelling the function is;

g(x) = 3·sin(x - π/2) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we have;

The vertical stretch of the sine function = 3 × The parent function

∴ A = 3

Given that the horizontal shift left = π/2 units, (from an online source with similar question)

The vertical shift down = 4 units

The given function, g is g(x) = A·sin(x + C) + D

Where;

A = The amplitude = The maximum displacement from the rest or equilibrium position = 3

C = The horizontal shift = -π/2 (The negative sign is for the shifting to the left)

D = The vertical shift = -4 (The negative sign is for a shift in the downward direction)

Therefore, the equation modelling the function is;

g(x) = 3·sin(x - π/2) - 4
