Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.
And we solve from there:
So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.
Edit: Typo
30/5 is 6, so c/3 is 6, and c is 6x3, so c is 18.
I believe the answer is 28.18
I got 42.5 cuz 4x+10=180 then take away 10 from both sides so 4x=170 and you divide each side by 4
Answer:
y = 7.8x + 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Pearson's r = 0.78
Average consumption of ice cream = 5 grams per week (m) with Standard deviation (sd) = 1.5 grams
Average weight = 65 kg with standard deviation of 15kg
Formular for the regression line :
General regression formula :
y = mx + c
y = predicted variable ; m = slope or gradient ; x = predictor variable ; c = intercept
Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x
m = (sd y / sd x) * r
m = (sd weight / sd ice cream) × r
m = (15 / 1.5) × r
m = 10 × 0.78 = 7.8
Intercept:
mean of weight(y) - [Slope×mean of icecream(x)]
65 - [7.8 × 5]
65 - 39 = 26
Hence,
y = 7.8x + 26
