Answer:
The consecutive numbers are 62 and 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x and the smaller number by y,
Provided they are consecutive numbers;
--- Equation 1
From the question; we have that
--- Equation 2
Required
Find x and y
Multiply both sides of equation 2 by 14
---- Equation 3
Substitute y + 1 for x in equation 2
Open bracket
Collect like terms
So,
Hence, the consecutive numbers are 62 and 63
I believe the answer is, 2) End of Reconstruction
So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins
