Answer:

The two integers are 74,76

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st integer

x+2 = consecutive even integer

x+x+2 =150

Combine like terms

2x+2 =150

Subtract 2 from each side

2x+2-2= 150-2

2x= 148

Divide by 2

2x/2 =148/2

x = 74

x+2 = 76

The two integers are 74,76

Consecutive even integers would mean the second number of the integers is 2 larger than the first. We can write the first integer as x and the second one as x + 2.
We know the sum of the integers is 150 so we can create the equation x + (x + 2) = 150.
Then we solve the equation but simplifying:
2x + 2 = 150
Subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 148
You can then divide both sides by 2
x = 74
x + 2 = 76. The two integers are 74 and 76

Wen takes a job with a starting salary of $100,000 for the first year. she earns a 3% increase each year. what does s5 represent

steposvetlana [31]

$S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n}) }{1-r}$ $a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5$
$S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000$

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{n=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5 }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of n from one side of the equation.

First, add by 1/8 from both sides.

n-1/8+1/8=3/8+1/8

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

3/8+1/8=4/8

Common factor of 4.

4/4=1

8/4=2

Rewrite as a fraction.

=1/2

n=1/2

Divide is another option.

1/2=0.5

n=1/2=0.5

Therefore, the final answer is n=1/2=0.5.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Answer:

$\dfrac{19}{840}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given fraction is:

$\dfrac{1}{168}+\dfrac{3}{180}$

We need to solve it.

The LCM of 168 and 180 is 2520.

So,

$\dfrac{1}{168}+\dfrac{3}{180}=\dfrac{15+3\cdot14}{2520}\\\\=\dfrac{19}{840}$

So, the required answer is equal to $\dfrac{19}{840}$ .
