Answer: 92 and 94

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

x + 2 = second number

x + x + 2 = 186

simplify

2x + 2 = 186

subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 184

divide both sides by 2

x = 92

92 + 2 = 94

The numbers are 92 and 94.

Make sure you read through the problem carefully so that you recognize that we are dealing with consecutive <u>even</u> integers here.

Any 2 consecutive even integers can be represented as x + x + 2.

So we can represent our integers as follows.

X ⇒<em> first integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>second integer</em>

<em />

Since their sum is 168, our equation reads x + x + 2 = 186.

Simplifying on the left side gives us 2x + 2 = 186.

Now subtract 2 from both sides to get 2x = 184.

Now divide both sides by 2 and we find that <em>x = 92</em>.

If x = 92, then <em>x + 2</em> will be 92 + 2 or 94.

So our two consecutive integers are <em>92</em> and <em>94</em>.

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the slope is positive so that gets rid of both of the negatives, and the line is not straight but if the line was horizontally straight then your slope would be zero. So I just did process of elimination.
