Consecutive numbers can be written as such:
n + (n + 1) = 73

Open the parentheses and simplify:
2n + 1 = 73

Subtract 1 from both sides:
2n = 72

Divide both sides by 2:
n = 36

The numbers are 36 and 37

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes theought the point (12, -2)

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option D (y = 5/6x -12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation of the line which passes through the point (12,-2) is (y+2) = m2(x-12)………(i) [Using one point formula].

According to the question, the first line passes through point (12,6) and (0,-4).

So,

$slope(m1) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{ - 4 - 6}{0 - 12}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/6.

Now as per the condition of parallel lines, m1 =m2 = 5/6.

So, keeping the value of m2 in equation (i), we get;

(y+2) = 5/6(x-12)

$y + 2 = \frac{5}{6} x - 10$

or, y = 5/6x - 12.

Therefore, the required equation is y = 5/6 X - 12.

Hope it helps!

15 less than a number tripled is equivalent to the difference of the same number and 12

Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

3x - 15 = (x - 12)×-4 or (12-x)×-4

3x - 15 = -4x + 48 or -48 + 4x

7x = 63, x = 9 or

33 = x
