Find two consecutive even integers such that eight times the first equals seven times the second equals

Mathematics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and x+2 be the two consecutive even integers

Then according to the given statement in the question

8x = 7(x+2)

<u>Distributive property </u>

8x=7x+14

<u>Subtraction Property of Equality</u>

8x-7x = 14+7x-7x

<u>Simplifying</u>

x = 14

So the first integer is 14 and second is:

x+2 = 14+2 = 16

Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16 ..

You are going to draw two candy bars from a large bag containing 28 snickers bars and 5 twix bars. what is the probability that
amm1812
Find the probability of drawing 1 snicker first then the probability of drawing another snicker after that, then multiply them together. For the first choice, the probability of drawing a Snickers is 28/33 (snickers/total candy bars). For the second choice, there are only 32 candy bars left, 27 of which are Snickers. So that probability is 27/32, so...
The probability of BOTH things happening is their product 756/1,056 which is 63:88

There are many systems of equation that will satisfy the requirement for Part A.
an example is y≤(1/4)x-3 and y≥(-1/2)x-6
y≥(-1/2)x-6 goes through the point (0,-6) and (-2, -5), the shaded area is above the line. all the points fall in the shaded area, but
y≤(1/4)x-3 goes through the points (0,-3) and (4,-2), the shaded area is below the line, only A and E are in the shaded area. 
only A and E satisfy both inequality, in the overlapping shaded area.

 
Part B. to verify, put the coordinates of A (-3,-4) and E(5,-4) in both inequalities to see if they will make the inequalities true. 
 for y≤(1/4)x-3: -4≤(1/4)(-3)-3
-4≤-3&3/4 This is valid.
For y≥(-1/2)x-6: -4≥(-1/2)(-3)-6
-4≥-4&1/3 this is valid as well. So Yes, A satisfies both inequalities. 
Do the same for point E (5,-4)

Part C: the line y<-2x+4 is a dotted line going through (0,4) and (-2,0)
the shaded area is below the line
farms A, B, and D are in this shaded area.
