7-3=-x+1
4=-x+1 substract 1
-1 -1
4-1=-x
3=-x multiply by -1
•(-1) •(-1)
-3=x
x=-3
Now that we’ve learned how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive integers, let’s narrow it down and this time, focus on word problems that only involve finding the sum of consecutive even integers.
But before we start delving into word problems, it’s important that we have a good understanding of what even integers, as well as consecutive even integers, are.
Even Integers
We know that even numbers are integers that can be divided exactly or evenly by 22. Thus, the general form of the even integer nn, is n = 2kn=2k, where kk is also an integer.
In other words, since even numbers are the multiples of 22, we can represent an even integer nn by 2k2k, where kk is also an integer. So if we have the even integers 1010 and 1616,
Given that a company budgeted 5 1/4 hours to complete a project, determine how much time they spent on research if they spent 1/3 of the total budget.
First, convert the budget from hours into minutes.
5 1/4 hours = 315 minutes
1 hour = 60 min
1/4 hour = 15 min
60 x 5 = 300
300 + 15 = 315
Then, divide the minutes by 3 or multiply it by 1/3.
315 / 3 = 105
315 x 1/3 = 105
Lastly convert to a mixed number.
1 3/4 hour
Thus, the company plans to spend 1 3/4 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes on research.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In statistics, a simple random sample is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population). Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance, such that each individual has the same probability of being chosen at any stage during the sampling process, and each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being chosen for the sample as any other subset of k.
