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.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 1) and (-8, 4)?
goldenfox [79]
<h2>Answer:   y =  - ¹/₂ x    OR  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)   </h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:  </h3>

        For us to write the equation for this line, we need to (1) find the slope of the line, and (2) use one of the points to write an equation:  

       The question gives us two points, (-2, 1) and (-8, 4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.

<u>Finding the Slope  </u>

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)    

                                         =  (4 - 1) ÷ (-8 - (-2))  

                                         =   - ¹/₂  

<u>Finding the Equation</u>  

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

                                 ⇒  y - 1 =   - ¹/₂ (x - (-2))

                                  ∴  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)

  we could also transform this into the slope-intercept form ( y = mx + c)  

                                   since  y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)

                                           ⇒     y =  - ¹/₂ x

The congruence theorem that can be used to prove ALON
Arisa [49]

Answer:

SSS is the congruence theorem that can be used to prove Δ LON  is congruent to Δ LMN ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the cases of congruence

  • SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
  • SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ
  • ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
  • AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ
  • HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse leg of the 2nd right Δ  

In triangles LON and LMN

∵ LO ≅ LM ⇒ given

∵ NO ≅ NM ⇒ given

∵ LN is a common side in the two triangles

- That means the 3 sides of Δ LON are congruent to the 3 sides

   of Δ LMN

∴ Δ LON ≅ LMN ⇒ by using SSS theorem of congruence

SSS is the congruence theorem that can be used to prove Δ LON  is congruent to Δ LMN

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hrs bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hrs or fewer hr
vladimir2022 [97]
He would be spending less time because  2/3 is not a full number. Let's make an equation out of the: 2/3(m). Note: 3(2) means 3 times 2 and the m is the amount of miles biked last week. We could insert the number 3 to our equation. 2/3(3). Now if you do it the proper way, it is 2/3(3/1) and if you do the math it is 6/3 aka 2. And 2 is less than 3. So it is less time spent
