The difference of the squares of two consecutive integers is 21. find the integers.

1 answer:

4 0

Let the two integers be x and x+1
(x+1)^2-x^2=21
x^2+2x+1-x^2=21
2x+1=21
2x=20
x=10
then x=10, x+1
10+1=11
the two integers are 10, 11

A Christmas jar contains 550 m&ms. Of all the m&ms, 2/5 are green and the rest are red. What is the ratio of green to re

vazorg [7]

Answer:

2:3 unless it wants it in total, then 220:330

Step-by-step explanation:

it gives you the answer with the fraction. A ratio is basically saying with x:y for every x number of one thing there are y number of another. In this case we know 2/5 will be green, so how many will be red? 3/5. So for every 2 greens there are 3 reds.

Another way of looking at it is for the totals. there are 550 total, so 2/5 of that is green. 2/5 of 550 is 220, while 3/5 is 330 so that means of the 550, the ratio is 220:330. Kinda like simplifying fractions where 220/550 is the same thing as 2/5
