<span>two consecutive even integers are x and x + 2
3(x + 2) - x = 42
3x + 6 -x = 42
2x = 36
x = 18
answer
smaller number: 18
bigger number: 18 + 2 = 20

Answer:
4.78 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve the above question using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean = 9.2 pound
σ is the population standard deviation = 3.4 pounds
z = 1.3
We are to find x
Hence,
-1.3 = x - 9.2/3.4
Cross Multiply
-1.3 × 3.4 = x - 9.2
-4.42 = x - 9.2
x = -4.42 + 9.2
x = 4.78 pounds.
Therefore the weight of the cat is 4.78 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
In the second step while opening the bracket, instead of 'a', there should be - 4a.
Answer:
p = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
p + 4/p - 4
multiplying through by p,
p×p + 4/p ×p - 4×p
p² + 4 - 4p = 0
p² - 4p + 4 = 0
factorizing,
p(p - 2) -2(p - 2) =0
(p -2)(p -2) =0
p-2 =0
p=2
There are infinitely many solutions.
Algebraically, we can eliminate
