The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 36 - 6 = 30
x = 30/3 = 10

The least numbers is 10
Therefore, the numbers are 10, 12 and 14

The mass of the first shipment at time t is
m_{1}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{10}}

The mass of the second shipment at time t is
m_{2}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t-3}{10} }

At time t, the ratio of m₁ to m₂ is
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{100}{100}. \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{(t-3)/10}} \\ =  \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{t/10}}. \frac{1}{(1/2)^{-3/10}} \\ = (1/2)^{3/10} \\ = 0.8123

Therefore as a percentage,
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} =100*0.8123 = 81.23 \%

Answer: B. 81.2%

Solve (2x-1/4)+(x/3)=2<br> Please provide a step by step with explanation
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x = 27/10 or x = 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get rid of the denominator.

LCD of 4 & 3: 12

Multiply both sides by 12.

12 ( 2x - 1 / 4 ) + 12 ( x / 3 ) = 12 (2)

Reduce the numbers.

3 ( 2x - 1) + 4x = 24

Step 2: Distribute.

6x - 3 + 4x = 24

Step 3: Collect like terms.

6x + 4x = 24 + 3 ( - 3, the sign change when moved to the other side)

10x = 27

Step 4: Solve for x.

Multiply both sides by 10.

10x / 10 = 27 / 10 (the 10 cancels out)

x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7

Answer: x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7
