Okay lets create an eqn from that information
A first int, B second int, C third int, D fourth int.
B = A + 2
C = A + 4
D = A + 6
A is the smallest integer
B + D = 0.5 (A + C)
Now lets substitute
(A + 2) + (A + 6) = 0.5(A + (A + 4))
now lets dist
2a + 8 = 0.5(2a +4)
2a + 8 = a + 2
a + 8 = 2
a = -6
B = -6 +2
B = -4
C = -6 + 4
C = -2
D = -6 + 6
D = 0
Now using B + D = 0.5(A + C)
-4 + 0 = 0.5(-6 + (-2))
-4 = 0.5 (-8)
-4 = -4
Correct
Therefore, First integer is -6, second integer is -4, third integer is -2 and fourth integer is 0
7. 18.3 divided by 4 is 4.575. 4.575 is closest to 4.5 which would be our answer
8. 14.6 divided by 3 is 4.86. If we round it, then it would be 5 which would be the answer
10. The answer to the problem would be 11.58
answer: y= 2x^2+2x-4
steps:
y= (2x+4)(x-1)
*FOIL method* y= (2x^2-2x+4x-4)
*simplify* y= 2x^2+2x-4
Answer:
33 feet
22 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the longer piece be x
Therefore the shorter piece is (2/3)x
x + (2/3)x = 55 Combine the left 2 terms.
(3/3)x + (2/3)x = 55 Add
(5/3)x = 55 Multiply both sides by (3/5)
(3/5) * (5/3)x = (3/5)*55
x = 33
The larger piece is 33 feet
The smaller piece is (2/3) * 33 = 22 feet
