The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 385. Find these page numbers.

1 answer:

6 0

Consecutive integers are integers that follow one another. For example, 2,3,4,5,etc.... are consecutive integers

So algebraically, consecutive integers follow the form x, x+1, x+2, etc...

Since the sum of two consecutive integers is 239, this means:

x%2Bx%2B1=239

2x%2B1=239 Combine like terms on the left side

2x=239-1Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=238 Combine like terms on the right side

x=%28238%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x=119 Divide

So our first number is x=119

So to find the next number, simply add 1 to it to get 119%2B1=120

Answer: So our two page numbers are 119 and 120

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (-5 + n) = -3 - 6n

-25 + 5n = -3 - 6n

-25 + 11n = -3

11n = 22

Answer:

$\dfrac{4000\pi}{3}$ ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's figure out how to get the volume of a sphere from its surface area. If r is the radius of our sphere, then

The formula for a sphere's surface area is $A = 4\pi r^2$

The formula for a sphere's volume is $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

So to get from area to volume, we have to divide the area by 3 and then multiply it by r. Mathematically:

$V=\frac{A}{3}r$

Before we solve for V though, we need to find the radius of our sphere. Thankfully, we're given the surface area - $400\pi$ ft² - so we can use the area formula to find that radius:

$A=4\pi r^2=400\pi\\r^2=100\\r=10$

And now that we have our radius, we can put it into our volume formula to find

$V=\frac{A}{3} r=\frac{400\pi}{3}(10)=\frac{4000\pi}{3}$ ft³

Answer:

$y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ to find the slope. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(-5)-(-4)}{(4)-(1)} \\m = \frac{-5+4}{4-1} \\m = \frac{-1}{3}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

2) Use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ into the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point on the line, choose any one of the given points (it doesn't matter which one) and substitute the x and y values of it into the formula. (I chose (1,-4), as seen below). This gives the equation of the line in point-slope form.

$y-(-4) = -\frac{1}{3} (x-(1))\\y+4 = -\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$
