2x + 2x+2 = -134
4x + 2 = -134
4x = -136 |: 4
x = -34

2x = 2 * (-34) = -68
2x + 2 = -68 + 2 = -66

This numbers are -66 and -68.

If we let x equal one of the numbers, and we let y equal the other number, we can define the equation as x+y=-134. Since we know, though, that the numbers are even and consecutive integers, we can say that y=x+2. We can then substitute our new value of y into the first equation which becomes x+x+2=-134. It can then be simplified as follows:
x+x+2=-134 \\ 2x+2=-134 \\ 2x=-136 \\ x=-68.
We have now solved for x, but we still need to know what y is, so we need the equation y=x+2 which we can evaluate and solve for y.
y=x+2 \\ y=-68+2 \\ y=-66
Now we have the two consecutive even integers whose sum is -134. They are -68 and -66.

What happens to the energy not output by a machine​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

By using the energy conservation law, the input energy must be equivalent to the output energy.  If you measured output energy is lower than your input energy, you have lost that difference of energy either in mechanical inefficiency (friction, heat, etc.) or an energy sink.

Thus, the energy not output by the machine is lost in the process within the machine.

Cheers.

The speed limit is 25 miles per hour, but it seems that many of the cars are going faster. The city places 2 counter strips 360
klio [65]
You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft.  Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.

           (25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

       =    (25 · 5280 / 3600)  ft/sec  =  (36 and 2/3) feet per second.

To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take

                360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec)  =   9.82 seconds .

Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.
_________________________________

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:

Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?

           (360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)

       =    (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280)  mile/hour

       =        245.5 / S    miles per hour .

The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?

                   245.5 / 7.0  =  35.1 miles per hour


Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips.  How fast was this car traveling ?

                        245.5 / 9.82  =  25 miles per hour
