To answer the problem above, let x be the first integer and x + 1 be the next integer. Given that their product is 600, the equation that best models this situation is,
                             (x)(x + 1) = 600
Simplify,
                                x² + x - 600 = 0 
The roots of the equation above is 24 and -25. Since we are asked for the negative integers, we take x = -25. Thus, the first integer is -25 and the second integer is -24. The lesser integer is -25

Segment EF is the midsegment of trapezoid ABCD. Find the length of segment EF if segment AB is 20 and segment CD is 12.
Vika [28.1K]

Midsegment = 1/2(base1 + base2)

EF = 1/2(AB + CD)

EF = 1/2(20 + 12)

EF = 1/2(32)

EF = 16

Answer

EF = 16

8y-10=6y-2 help me please I don't get this
murzikaleks [220]
8y-10=6y-2 

8y-10=6y-2:y  | Solve \ for \ y| 

8y=6y-2+10&#10; &#10;  |Add \ 10 \ to \ both \ sides| 

&#10;8y=6y+8&#10; &#10; 

&#10;8y-6y=8&#10; &#10;  |Subtract \ 6y \ from \ both \ sides|

2y=8 

y=8/2   |Divide \ both  \ sides \ by \ 2|

y=4 

\star \ Hence \ solved

Hello there!

For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!

The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.

So:

1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12

2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12

Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).

When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).

So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours

Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)

Hope this helped!
