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.

Jean bought a $1,980 snow thrower on the installment plan. The installment agreement included a 10% down payment and 18 monthly
enyata [817]

Answer:

Jean paid $2,286 for the snow thrower, with a finance charge of $306.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jean bought a $ 1,980 snow thrower through an initial payment of 10% of the initial value, and 18 monthly payments of $ 116, to determine the final price paid by Jean, the following calculation is required:

(1,980 x 0.1) + (18 x 116) = X

198 + 2,088 = X

2,286 = X

Therefore, the final price paid for Jean was $ 2,286.

In turn, the finance charge arises from the difference between the final price and the list price, that is:

2,286 - 1,980 = X

306 = X

Thus, the finance charge is $ 306.

Help, I don’t understand this DeltaMath question
djyliett [7]
I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.

To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.

Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)

Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft

Hope this helps!
