Answer:

x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways this problem could be solved. The easiest route is to note that the first part of the question says "2 consecutive numbers". If the numbers are next to each other on a number line (consecutive) and x is the smaller number, the larger number is x + 1.

To check, let's find the two numbers. We know the numbers are next to each other on a number line and that together, they equal 37. Let's begin with 15 and 16.

15 + 16 = 31

These numbers are too low, as they should add to 37. Let's try 18 and 19.

18 + 19 = 37

There are the two correct numbers. If x = the smaller number, x = 18.

18 + 1 = 19

Since this is correct, we know for sure that the answer is x + 1.

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that x is the original width. If that original width is enlarged by a scale factor 5/2 that means that x is multiplied by 5/2 and after that multiplication we obtained new width, 40 cm.

Therefore,

x*(5/2) = 40

We multiply the equation by 2 and obtain:

x*5 = 40*2

5x = 80

Now we divide the equation by 5 and obtain:

x = 80/5

x = 16

We obtained that x, the original width was 16 cm

Yakvenalex [24]
Solve for x.

First multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.

12 + 12x = 12 + 12x

There is an infinite amount of solutions.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

if the shapes are similar then the measures are proportional:

4/12 = 1/d cross multiply expressions

4d = 12 divide both sides by 4

Suppose that f and g are two functions with the same domain. If ​f(x)equals​g(x) for every x in the​ domain, the equation is cal
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Identity; conditional

Explanation:

Identity functions are functions that returns the SAME value which was used in its argument. In this case, f(x) = g(x). Therefore f(x) = g(x) = x.

Conditional functions are conditions that evaluates the condition and returns DIFFERENT values all depending on the condition value. That is, in this case, f(x) is not equal to g(x) for every x domain.

So, while identity functions returns the same value, conditional functions returns different functions.
