It wouldn't be able to be because since all of the the numbers that could fit is probably going to be a decimal. Let's say we find 4 consecutive numbers of 32.

Equation:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=32

4x+6=32

-6 -6

4x=26

x=6.5 1. 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5

As you can see, the consecutive number is going to be a decimal.

•Mr. Jones and Mr. Thomas

The profit should be shared in proportion to Mr Jones, Mr Thomas and Mr forson capitals in the ratio 21 : 32 : 27 respectively.

<h3>Proportion</h3>

Mr Jones capital = $12600
Mr Thomas capital =$19200
Mr forson capital = $16200

Total capital = $12600 + $19200 + $16200

= $48,000

Mr Jones proportion = $12600 / $48,000

= 21/80

Mr Thomas proportion = $19200 / $48,000

= 32/80

Mr forson proportion = $16200 / $48000

= 27/80

Solve each system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$x=33\\y=-41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$2x+y=25\hspace{5}(1)\\and\\4x+3y=9\hspace{5}(2)$

We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 2

$2*(1)\equiv\hspace{5}4x+2y=50$

Now subtract (2) from 2*(1) in order to eliminate x:

$2*(1)-(2)\\4x-4x+2y-3y=50-9\\-y=41$

Solving for y:

Multiplying both sides by -1

$y=-41$

Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)

$2x-41=25$

Solving for x:

add 41 to both sides:

$2x=66$

Multiply both sides by 1/2:

$x=\frac{66}{2} =33$

Answer:

Jerry sold 35 % of the total tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jerry sold tickets = $\frac{7}{20}$ of total number of tickets

We need to find the percent of the total number of tickets Jerry sold.

Solution:

to find the percent of the total number of tickets Jerry sold we need to multiply the fraction by 100 we get;

framing in equation form we get;

Percent of the total number of tickets Jerry sold = $\frac{7}{20}\times100 = 35\%$

Hence Jerry sold 35 % of the total tickets.

Y varies inversely with x.

djyliett [7]

Y is 7.5
A easy way to do it is simply graph it or divide it!
For instance, since x=5 is half of x=10, we would just divide 15 by 2 to get Y which is 7.5
