<span>X+(X+1)=31
</span>x is the first number and the second number should be x+1, since they are consecutive
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?
Remember
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)
The slope of the given line is m=-1/2
so
the opposite reciprocal is m=2
<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>

we have

substitute

<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>

isolate the variable y



On the map the ratio is 3cm:4km
The map distance is 24cm
Our overall ratio is 3 : 4
24 : ?
We can find the scale factor by doing 24/3 which is 8. Then do 8 x 4 = 32km
The actual distance is therefore 32km
Answer: 5 miles
Step-by-step explanation: If she goes 3 times a week for 8 weeks she goes for a total of 24 days. In those 24 days she wants to bike 120 miles. Divide 120 by 24. You get 5. Therefore she needs to bike 5 miles each day she goes to the gym to achieve her goal.
