The answer would be -4.5/5. You would have to plot the number in between -2 and - 1 4/5. Hope this helps!
X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
Answer:
The answer would be x=4.
Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x+3(5x−7)=47
2x+(3)(5x)+(3)(−7)=47(Distribute)
2x+15x+−21=47
(2x+15x)+(−21)=47(Combine Like Terms)
17x+−21=47
17x−21=47
Step 2: Add 21 to both sides.
17x−21+21=47+21
17x=68
Step 3: Divide both sides by 17.
17x/17=68
17x=68
x=4
The exact calculations:
Principal, P=3000
interest rate = 33% per year
Period, t=10 years
Future value
Interest
= future value - principal
= 81337.92-3000
=
78337.92 (to the nearest cent)
It’s non linear and it’s decreasing
