Answer:

26 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The first integer = x

Therefore the second integer = x + 1

according to the statement we obtain the equation

(x) + (x + 1) <55

x + x + 1 <55

2 * x + 1 <55

We subtract 1 from both sides, we get:

2x <54

divide both sides by 2 we get:

x <27

Therefore the first integer is 26, since it has to be better than 27.

the second integer = x + 1

= 26 + 1

= 27

If we add 26 + 27 = 53, which is less than 55 and the condition is met

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 101010 denarii per day to support 444

givi [52]

the correct question is

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Let

x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day

y-------> the cost to support an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1

2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2

If you multiply equation 1 by 2

2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system

therefore

the answer is

We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.

Someone help me please

galben [10]

Answer:

∛27 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A radical is simply a fractional exponent: $a^{(\frac{m}{n})} = \sqrt[n]{a^{m} }$

Hence, ∛27 = $27^{(\frac{1}{3})}$

Since 27 = 3³, then:

You could rewrite ∛27 as ∛(3)³.

$\sqrt[3]{3^{(3)} } = 3^{[(3)*(\frac{1}{3})]}$

Multiplying the fractional exponents (3 × 1/3) will result in 1 (because 3 is the multiplicative inverse of 1/3). The multiplicative inverse of a number is defined as a number which when multiplied by the original number gives the product as 1.

Therefore, ∛27 = 3.
