Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.

Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.

x + x + 2 = -36

2x + 2 = -36

2x = -38

x = -19

The smaller one of the two integers is -19.

x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17

The greater of the two integers is -17.

Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

Let x = one of the integers. To get to the next odd number, you would have to add 2 to the first number so it is x + 2.

"sum" tells us to add.

x + x + 2 = - 36

2x + 2 = - 36

Subtract 2 from both sides to the variable is on one side and constants are on the other.

2x = - 36 - 2

2x = - 38

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable.

x = - 38/2 = - 19

x = - 19

x + 2 = - 19 + 2 = - 17

Your two numbers are -17 and -19.

To check your answer, add them together.

- 17 + (-19) = - 36

-17 - 19 = 36

-36 = -36

P(t) = t^2- t; Find p(6)
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

P(t)=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in t=6 into the equation: P(t)=t^2-t

So P(t)= (6)^2-6

P(t)=36-6

P(t)=30

Dave receives a salary of $200 a week plus a commission of 10% of his weekly sales. An equation y=mx+b represents Dave’s weekly
eduard
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Dave makes $350 

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
In order to find this answer, we must first establish the equation for his earnings.
<u>We use slope intercept form:</u>
 y = mx + b,
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Since the problem states that his commission percentage is the slope and his base salary is the y-intercept, we can use them in the equation <u>to get the following: </u>
y = 0.1x + 200.

Now knowing that the x is the amount he sells, we can use the $1500 as x to find his total pay for the week:.
y = 0.1(1500) + 200,
y = 150 + 200,
y = 350. </span>
