Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first and foremost the two consecutive numbers will be x and x + 1, which will equal to 2x + 1.

2x + 1 > 15

2x + 1 = 15

Collect like terms

2x = 15 - 1

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

x = 7

Answer:

The average of -2.5, 5.2, 1.7, and -0.8 is <u>0.9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

You are taking the mean of all the values

So you would add -2.5, 5.2, 1.7, and -0.8 all together

This gives you 3.6

Then you would divide by the number of numbers per se,

Which would give you the answer: 0.9

A small airplane flies 1200 miles with an average speed of 300 miles per hour. 2 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leav

inysia [295]

The small plane has the following parameters

Distance = 1200 miles

Speed = 300miles/hour

time = ?

$\begin{gathered} \text{Speed =}\frac{dis\tan ce}{time} \\ time\text{= }\frac{1200}{300} \\ \text{time = 4 hours} \end{gathered}$

If a Boeing 747 leaves 2 hours later, the total time becomes 4hours + 2 hours = 6 hours

Considering the distance of the small plane after 6 hours, we have

$\begin{gathered} \text{distance = sp}eed\times\text{ time} \\ d\text{ = 300 }\times6 \\ d\text{ =1800 miles} \end{gathered}$

So the total distance = 1800 miles

Hence the speed of the Boeing 747 will be

$\begin{gathered} \text{Speed =}\frac{dis\tan ce}{time} \\ \text{distance = 1800 miles } \\ time\text{ = 2hours} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{speed = }\frac{1800}{2} \\ \text{speed = 900 miles/hour} \end{gathered}$

The average speed of the Boeing 747 is 900 miles/ hour
