Answer:

228 butterflies

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents the moths

2x represents the butterflies

solution:

x + 2x = 342

3x = 342

x = 114

2x = 228

so therefore Alex have 228 butterflies

Line FG contains points F (3,7) and G (-4,-5) line HI contains points (-1,0) and I (4,6) lines FG and HI are. ?
ludmilkaskok [199]
FG : (3,7)(-4,-5)
slope = (-5 - 7) / (-4-3) = -12/-7 = 12/7

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 12/7
(3,7)...x = 3 and y = 7
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
7 = 12/7(3) + b
7 = 36/7 + b
7- 36/7 = b
49/7 - 36/7 = b
13/7 = b
so ur equation is : y = 12/7 + 13/7.....slope = 12/7, y int = 13/7

HI : (-1,0)(4,6)
slope = (6 - 0) / (4 - (-1) = 6/5

no need to go any farther.....these lines have different slopes...and their not negative reciprocals....so there will be one solution. Answer is : neither.

Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
drek231 [11]
<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
