The sum of 2 consecutive whole numbers is 206. What are the 2 numbers

Mathematics

Answer:

There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 206 (See proof below)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x

since the numbers are whole and consecutive, the second number must be (x + 1)

we are given that the number sum to 206

hence,

x + (x+1) = 206

x + x + 1 = 206

2x + 1 = 206  (subtract 1 from both sides)

2x = 206 - 1

2x = 205  (divide both sides by 2)

x  = 205/2 = 102.5  (NOT A WHOLE NUMBER)

if x = 102.5, then the second number must be

x + 1 = 102.5 + 1 + 103.5 (ALSO NOT A WHOLE NUMBER)

Answer:

102.5, 103.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a+a+1=206

2a+1=206

2a=205

a=102.5

103.5

I think there is a bug here. They can't be whole numbers.

Rephrase in contrapositive form:
miv72 [106K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the condition statement p \rightarrow q or equivalent "If p then q"

The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them. \sim q \rightarrow \sim p

Part (A) If you are taller than 6 ft, then it is unpleasant for you to travel in economy class.

Here p is "you are taller than 6 ft, and q is "it is unpleasant for you to travel in economy class".

It is given that Your contrapositive must not contain explicit references to negation. Assume that the negation of "unpleasant" is "pleasant".

Contrapositive: If it is pleasant for you to travel in economy class then you are not taller than 6 ft then.

Part (B) "If x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 then xy ≥ 0" where x, y are real numbers.

Here p is "xy≥ 0, and q is "x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0"

The negative of xy≥ 0 is xy<0, x ≥ 0 is x<0 and y ≥ 0 is y<0.

Remember negative means opposite.

Contrapositive: If xy < 0 then x<0 and y<0.

Name one possible cross section of a sphere
Lisa [10]
A "cross section" is basically the two-dimensional face that you get when you cut a three-dimensional figure a certain way.  For example, imagine you're buttering your bread.  When you cut a pat of butter off, what shape is left on the butter?  A square!

So, imagine cutting a ball in half.  What shape is left?  A circle!

Answer: circle

Which expression is NOT equivalent to the other three? A) −9 − 7n + 16n B) 9(n − 9) Eliminate C) n − 9 + 8n D) 9n − 9
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The expression is not equivalent to other three is 9(n-9) .

Option (B) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Take first expression

= -9 -7n + 16n

= 9n-9

Take second expression

= 9(n-9)

= 9 × n - 9 × 9

= 9n - 81

Take third expression

= n-9+8n

= 9n-9

Take fourth expression

= 9n-9

Therefore expression is not equivalent to other three is 9(n-9) .

Option (B) is correct .
