Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL: <em>(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd</em>
1. Let the first integer be represented by: 2k
the second integer by: 2(k+1)
the third integer by: 2(k+2)
and the fourth by: 2(k+3)
Then, 2k + 2(k+2) = 2(k+3) - 6
2k + 2k + 4 = 2k + 6 - 6
4k + 4 = 2k
4 = -2k
-2 = k
Answer: -4, -2, 0, 2

2. Let the first integer be represented by: 2k+1
the second integer by: 2k+3
the third integer by: 2k+5
and the fourth by: 2k+7
Then, 2k+7 = (2k+1) + (2k+3) + (2k+5) + 2
2k + 7 = 6k + 11
-4 = 4k
-1 = k
Answer: -1, 1, 3, 5
Answer:
40 percent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two-fifths is the same as 4/10, which is the same as 40/100. Since percentages are a part of 100, 40/100 is 40 percent.
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 6y = 48
6y = 48 - 4x ^ Subtraction Property of Equality
y = -1.5x + 8 ^ Division Property of Equality
y-int = 8
x = -1.5
