X = first integer
x + 1 = second consecutive integer

x + (x + 1) = 153..combine like terms
2x + 1 = 153
2x = 153 - 1
2x = 152
x = 152/2
x = 76

x + 1 = 76 + 1 = 77

so ur numbers are : 76 and 77...and u will find that when added equal 153.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the probability of him pulling out a book.

There are 11 objects in total, and there are 4 books.

So, the probability of pulling out a book is $\frac{4}{11}$

Next, find the probability of him pulling out a DVD after.

Since a book was taken out, there are only 10 objects left. There are 5 DVDs.

So, the probability of pulling out a DVD is $\frac{5}{10}$ , or simplified to $\frac{1}{2}$

To find the probability that this happens in order, multiply the probabilities:

$\frac{4}{11}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{2}{11}$

So, the probability is $\frac{2}{11}$

The sum of, half of a number and double the number is 20. Find the number.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the word problem as an equation.

The sum of (we will be adding.), half of a number (we can use x, this will be written as x/2.) and double the number (this will be written as 2x) is 20.

To find the number, solve the equation.

x/2 + 2x = 20

Multiply both sides by 2.

x + 4x = 40

Combine terms.

5x = 40

Divide both sides.

x = 8.
