The numbers are: 2n and (2n+2)
we can suggest this equation:
4(2n)=2(2n+2)-12

We compute this equation:
8n=4n+4-12
8n-4n=-8
4n=-8
n=-8/4
n=-2

we compute the numbers:
2n=2(-2)=-4
2n+2=-4+2=-2


answer: the numbers are -4 and -2.

you are making curtains by alternating strips of solid colored fabric and patterned fabric. the solid colored fabric costs 99¢ p
weeeeeb [17]
Hello, 

to find the total cost (c) of the colored strips we have to multiply the number of strips (n) by the cost of each color strip (99¢), that as an algebraic function is:

\boxed{c= n*99} [¢]

Now, if we use 3 solid color strips, that means that we use 4 patterned strips, so:

Cost=3*0.99+4*1.25 \\ \boxed{Cost= 7.97}

Answer: c=n*99   and   Cost per curtain= $7.97

The equation 2x² + 2y2 – 8x - 12y + 16 = 0 defines a circle.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to change the equation of a circle from general form to standard form. This is done by making the leading coefficients 1, completing the squares, and then rewriting the equation in standard form.

The leading coefficients of the given equation are 2, so we first want to divide by 2. This gives ...

  x² +y² -4x -6y +8 = 0

Subtracting 8 puts us in better position to complete the squares.

  x² +y² -4x -6y = -8

Now, we can add the squares of half the coefficients of the linear terms.

  (x² -4x +4) +(y² -6x +9) = -8 +13 . . . . . . matches C

And we can simplify this to the standard form equation:

  (x -2)² +(y -3)² = 5 . . . . . matches E

Transversal t cuts parallel lines a and bas shown in the diagram. Which equation is necessarily true?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given diagram, we want to know the equation that is true

Option A is wrong as both are on a straight line and in fact should add up to equal 180 and not be equal to each other

Option B is not correct as both are supplementary and does not equal each other

Option C is not correct, both are corresponding to each other and should not add up to 90

Option D is correct

Both angles are supplementary as they are exterior angles that add up to 180
