Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 14 ONLY

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, set up an equation.

Set  

x

equal to the lower number, and  

x

+

2

as the higher number since they are consecutive even numbers so they are two apart.

Now write out the equation according to the question

(

x

)

2

(

x

+

2

)

2

=

Combine like terms.

Set equal to zero so you can factor.

)

=

,

12

x

=

12

because the answer must be positive according to the question.

That means  

x

is 14.

You can double check:

(

Write the equation of the line that passes through (0, 3) and is parallel to the line 3x + 5y = 6.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
There's more ways than one to solve this, just as there's more ways than one to skin a cat.

Two paralle lines have the same slope, so the desired new line looks exactly like the given line 3x + 5y = 6, except that the constant, 6, is replaced by another value.

Write out 3x + 5y = c
Replace x with 0 and y with 3.  Then 3(0) + 5(3) = c, and c = 15.

Thus, the equation of the new, parallel, line is 3x + 5y = 15.

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 3 and height 8? Either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.14, f
sergiy2304 [10]
First find the area of the base, and multiply that by the height. That's the answer.

Area of the base: pi * 3*3 = 3.14*9 = 28.26
Volume of the cylinder: 28.26*8 = 226.08 cubic units

The difference between the roots of the quadratic equation x2 -14x +q =0 is 6. Find q
Irina-Kira [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  q = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

When the quadratic has roots p and r, it can be factored as ...

  (x -p)(x -r) = x² -(p+r)x +pr

So, the sum of the roots is 14, and their difference is 6. This lets us find the roots from ...

  p + r = 14

  p - r = 6

  2p = 20 . . . add the two equations

  p = 10

  r = 14 -p = 4

The value of interest is then ...

  q = pr = (10)(4)

  q = 40

__

The graph shows the roots to be 4 and 10, as we found.

You earn $7.50 per hour at a fast food restaurant. You earned $123.75 last week. How many hours did you work last week?
ladessa [460]
I believe you would need to divide 123.75 by 7.50.

The equation would look something like this:
7.50x=123.75
Where x = # of hours worked
123.75 / 7.50 = 16.5
so x = 16.5
You worked for 16.5 hours
