Answer:

H.28

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 3 : 4

=> 4x=3y   => x=3y/4 -----(1)

(x+y)-9=40

=>x+y=49

using (1)

3y/4 +y= 49

y=28

substituting y in (1)

x=21

hence 28 is greater.

The sum of two confescutive integers is at least 46. What is the least possibly pair of integers?
dezoksy [38]
An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.

1) 21 + 23: not consecutive
2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46
3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46
4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46

So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.

x= first integer
x+1= second integer

x + (x+1) >= 46
2x + 1 >=46
2x>=45
x>=22.5

Answer:
The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.

Hope this helps! :)

Shop only had 2 types of stamps left using
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

  {3¢, 28¢} or {4¢, 19¢} or {7¢, 10¢}

Step-by-step explanation:

54 = 1×54 = 2×27 = 3×18 = 6×9

Possible values of the stamps are 1 more than the values of a pair of factors. Of course, a 2¢ and 55¢ stamp will not permit paying 54¢ in postage, so that combination won't work. However, other pairs that will work are ...

  • 3¢ and 28¢
  • 4¢ and 19¢
  • 7¢ and 10¢

on a piece of paper, graph y<-3/4x+2. Then determine which answer choice matches the graph you drew.
exis [7]

Answer:

  D.  Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

The  "y <" tells you two things: (1) shading will be below the line, where y-values are less than those on the line, and (2) the line will be dashed, because the "equal to" case is not included.

Only one graph has a dashed line with shading below: Graph D.
