X+(x+1)=17
So 2x+1=17
Which means 2x=16
Which then means x=8
But you still need the second number, which is x+1, so 8+1=9.
This means that the consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
If you would like to find the function that gives the profit Betty makes by selling a number of glasses of lemonade, you can find this using the following steps:
p ... profit
g ... glasses of lemonade
f(g) = p = g * $1 - $50
The correct result would be f(g)<span> = g * $1 - $50.</span>
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 (-8x - 6) = -6x - 22
distribute
64x + 48 = -6x -22
get rid of the smallest x by adding 6x to both side
70x + 48 = -22
minus 48 to both sides
70x = -70
divide both side by 70
x = -1
