The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 198. What is the fourth number in this sequence.

1 answer:

7 0

Let x, x+1,x+2, x +3 are the numbers
so
x + x +1 + x +2 +x +3 = 198
4x + 6 = 198
4x =198-6
4x = 192
x = 192/4
x = 48
x + 1 = 48 + 1 = 49
x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50
x + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51

proof
48 + 49 + 50 + 51 = 198

so the numbers are 48, 49, 50, 51

fourth number in this sequence is 51

A boy scout troop is selling Christmas trees at a local tree lot. In the morning, they sold 20 Douglas Fir trees and 23 Noble Fi

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

The cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 Douglas Fir tree = $ x

Let the cost of 1 Noble Fir tree = $ y

Total Amount Earned in morning = $2,417

Total Amount Earned in evening = $2,022

Now, according to the question:

20 x + 23 y = 2417

and 20 x + 18 y = 2022

Subtraction both equation , we get

20 x + 23 y - (20 x + 23 y) = 2417 - 2022

or, 20x - 20x + 23 y - 18 y = 395

or, 5 y = 395

⇒ y = 395 / 5 = 79

Hence, the cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Now, put the value of y in 20 x + 23 y = 2417 , we get

20x + 23(79) = 2417

or, 20x = 2417 - 1817 = 600

or, x = 600/20 = 30

Hence, the cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

Whats the output when the input is 1234n and the output is 10 12 14 16.

Grace [21]

Answer:

y=2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so, to find the equation, we need to find the slope first. We can do that by turning the input and output into coordinates.

(1,10) and (2,12)

To find the slope, we do:

$\frac{12 - 10}{2 - 1}$

Which equals to 2

So right now we can say that the equation is:

y=2x+b

In order to find b, the constant, we just need to plug in the y values and x value of a coordinate:

10=2(1)+b

10=2+b

8=b

So now we can say that the equation is:

y=2x+8

The answer is the 3rd choice. The beginning temperature is -9 so you add the 7 to the -9 degrees to find the temperature at noon because it increased.
