Mathematics

vlabodo [156]3 years ago

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 the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (4, 4)?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding the slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Take y2 and y1 from (4,<u>4</u>) (1,<u>1</u>)

Take x2 and x1 from (<u>4</u>,4) (<u>1</u>,1)

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  = \frac{4-1}{4-1} = \frac{3}{3} = 1

This is how the answer is 1

Hope it helps :)
