Answer:

The smallest number is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even number

x+2 --->the second consecutive even number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is given by

x+(x+2)=178

solve for x

2x=178-2\\2x=176\\x=88

so

x=88\\x+2=88+2=90

therefore

The smallest number is 88

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Total cost=$25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can derive two expressions as follows;

Total cost for the First shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$20

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=1×n=n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=20+n....equation 1

Total cost for the second shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$15

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=2×n=2 n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Equating equation 1 and equation 2

15+2 n=20+n

2 n-n=20-15

n=5

Replace the value for n in equation 2

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Total cost=15+(2×5)=$25

Ierofanga [76]
F(-5) x g(-5)

f(-5) = -2(-5) - 7
f(-5) = 10 - 7
f(-5) = 3

g(-5) = -4(-5) + 3
g(-5) = 20 + 3
g(-5) = 23

f(-5) x g(-5) = 3 x 23 = 69

Your answer is 69
