Answer:

<h3>            20 and 22</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two consecutive even integers  is 2

and even integer is always twice some integer

So:

2x   ← smaller of numbers

2x+2  ←  larger of numbers  

2×2x     ←  twice the smaller of numbers

3(2x+2)      ←  three  times the larger

3(2x+2)-26   ← 26 less than 3 times the larger

twice the smaller is  26 less than 3 times the larger:

3(2x+2) - 26 = 2×2x

6x + 6 - 26 = 4x

       +20         +20

6x - 4x = 20

       2x = 20

2x+2 = 20 + 2 = 22        

Check:   2×20=40; 40+26 = 66; 66÷3=22

How do you graph a line written in standard form
Sonbull [250]
Ok so standard form is a bit tricky, but I’ll help explain

Here’s and example:

If you have 2x+5y=10 here is how you would solve it

First you divide the x value by what the number is equal to (in our example, 10), and then we get 10/2 is 5. So now we know that

x is equal to five

Keep that in mind. Now we just have to do the same thing for the y value. 5/10 is 2, so you know that

y is equal to two

NOW you put those two together, and graph on the intercepts (the positions on the y and x axis where the lines intercept)

You would put a line on the x axis at 5, and on the y axis at 2

A museum has a wax sculpture of a historical village. The scale is 1.5:8. If the height of a hut in the sculpture is 5 feet, how
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Let us say that x is the real height of the original hut, therefore we can establish the equation:

5 : x = 1.5 : 8

5 / x = 1.5 / 8

 

Solving for x:

x = 5 * 8 / 1.5

x = 40 / 1.5

<span>x = 26.67 ft</span>
