Since the numbers are not consecutive natural numbers, how about if I let the 4 numbers be a, b, c, and d?

The sum is given to be 1320.

a + b + c + d =1320...I will call this the first equation.

Can I then say that the second equation is b + c + d = 0.4a + a? Yes, I can do this.

Simplifying my second equation,

I get b + c + d = 1.4a.

Plugging this into my first equation, I get

a +1.4a =1320

2.4a =1320

So, a =1320/(2.4) =550.

Answer: 550

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We aren't given that they are consecutive so lets just pretend the numbers are x, y, z , and r.

We are given x+y+z+r=1320

We are also given that y+z+r=.4x+x

Simplifying my second equation gives us y+z+r=1.4x. I'm going to plug this into first equation giving me

x+1.4x=1320

2.4x=1320

So x=1320/2.4=550

F the range of the function f(x) = 7x – 2.7 is {14.1, 30.9, 41.4, 58.9, 68}, what is its domain?
grigory [225]
You need to solve  5 equations  
1. 7x - 2.1 = 14.1
2. 7x - 2.1 = 30.9  and so on


1. 7x - 2.1 = 14.1
7x = 16.2
x = 2.314     so first number in the domain is  2.314

You can calculate the other 4 in the same way

Here are four digits.

Answer:

A: 357

(1) 9641

Step-by-step explanation:

With A you really just want to go from the smallest number up so it would be the smallest number possible.

<em>EX.</em> 357 vs. 736   357 is smaller

With 1 you have to go from the highest number to lowest number to get the biggest answer possible.

<em>Ex.</em>  9641 vs. 1946    9641 is larger.

Prove that the product of the second and third numbers out of four consecutive whole numbers is two greater than the product of
podryga [215]

Let the four consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+2,x+3.

Now the product of second and third number=(x+1)(x+2)=x²+3x+2=k

Product of first and fourth number=x(x+3)=x²+3x=k-2

A.T.Q

product of second and third number= product of first and fourth number+2

Hence proved
