We can find this integer using a system of equations.  The first thing we look at is the first sentence.

Let's call X The first integer,

Let's call Y the second integer.


So, X+Y=61 and X-Y= 1


Using Substituion on the second equation, we get

X=Y+1

(Now we plug in Y+1 into the second equation for X)

So,

(Y+1)+Y=61

2Y=60

Y=30

So, one of the integers is 30.

Now to find the second, we go back to

X=Y+1

X=30+1

X=31.


So, the integers are 31 and 30.


Hope this helps!

The function y=−0.25x+0.55 represents the percent y (in decimal form) of battery power remaining x hours after you turn on a lap
AURORKA [14]
Answer: a is 2.2, b is 0.55
Explanation:
To find the x intercept, put 0 instead of y,
hence,
0=-0.25x+0.55
-0.25x=-0.55
x=2.2
To find y intercept put 0 instead of x,
so,
y=-0.25*0+0.55
y=0+0.55
y=0.55

Rasek [7]
Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.

Hope this helps!

In a beaded necklace 3/12, of the beads
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 7/12 of the beads are blue and green

Step-by-step explanation: To make both denominators of fraction 3/12 and 1/3 equal, you have to change both denominators to the lowest common denominator. Since the LCD (lowest common denominator) is 12 you have to multiply 1/3 by 4 to make the two denominators match.

1/3 x 4/4= 4/12

Then to find the total fraction of both green and blue beads on the necklace, you simply have to add the two fractions together.

4/12+3/12= 7/12

hope this helps :)
