integers n, n+2 , n+4

2n + 3(n+4) = 42

2n + 3n +12 = 43

5n +12 = 42

5n = 30

n = 6

integers 6, 8 ,10

A woman is considering two companies from which to rent a truck. triangle truck rental charges $20 per day and 35 cents a mile.

You can solve this question using two different methods. One is obviously a hit and trial method in which you keep guessing a number which gives the same amount of total cost. Second is forming two different equations and then solving them using simultaneous methods learnt.

The correct answer is 75 miles. I used the hit and trial method. You can see 20 + 75 * 0.35 = 46.25 and similarly 35 + 75 * 0.15 = 46.25. Hence the same cost.

How to solve for y.

NARA [144]

25, 65, and y make a right triangle. use a^2 + b^2 =c^2.
so...
y^2 + 25^2 = 65^2
y^2 + 625 = 4225
y^2 = 3600 take the square root of both sides
y=60

$\huge\textbf{Hey there!}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{6\times(-24)\div (-4)}}\\\huge\boxed{= \mathsf{\dfrac{6(-24)}{-4}}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= \dfrac{\bold{-144}}{-4}}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{-144\div-4}{-4\div-4}}}\\\huge\boxed{= \mathsf{\dfrac{\bold{36}}{1}}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= 36\div1}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= 36}}\\\\\\\huge\text{\bf Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{36}}}\huge\checkmark$
