Answer:

$32\ and\ 34.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number.

The next even number will be (x + 2).

$x+x+2=66$

$2x+2=66$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$2x+2-2=66-2$

$2x=64$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{64}{2}$

$x=32$

The smaller number is 32.

Larger number $=32+2=34$

It is 76°f at the 6000-foot level of a mountain, and 49°f at the 12,000-foot level of the mountain. write a linear equation to f

Answer:

$t(x) = 103 -0.0045x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let the equation:

$t(x) = a + bx$

be the linear equation that represent temperature at an elevation x.

Temperature at 6000-foot level = 76 f

$76 = a + 6000b$

Temperature at 12000-foot level = 49 f

$49 = a + 12000b$

Solving the two equation, we get,

$76-49 = -6000b\\27=-6000b\\\\b = \dfrac{-27}{6000}\\\\b = -0.0045\\76 = a + (-0.0045)6000\\76 = a -27\\a = 76 + 27\\a =103$

Thus, we can write the linear equation as:

$t(x) = 103 -0.0045x$
