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.

Patty because she has the lowest time out of them all. From least to greatest Patty would be the least with her time being shorter than the rest

Can someone simply explain how to find the area of a triangular prism ? step by step ^^;
Vika [28.1K]
The formula:
A = bh + L (s1 + s2 + s3)

A: area
b: base
h: height
L: length
s1: side 1 (cross-sectional area)
s2: side 2 (cross-sectional area)
s3: side 3 (cross-sectional area)

Here’s an example (see attached image)

A = (4 x 6) + (12 x [7 + 7 + 4])
A = (24) + (12 x 18)
A = 24 + 216
A = 240cm^2

I hope this helped? Comment if you need more explanation or anything!

Which statement is true about the equations –3x + 4y = 12 and x – y = 1?
Firlakuza [10]
-3x + 4y = 12
x - y = 1....x = y + 1

-3(y + 1) + 4y = 12
-3y - 3 + 4y = 12
-3y + 4y = 12 + 3
y = 15

x - y = 1
x - 15 = 1
x = 1 + 15
x = 16

one solution (16,15)

równanie zmiany prędkość autokaru poruszającego się po prostym odcinku szosy i rozpoczynającego hamowanie od szybkości 20m/s ma
Rasek [7]

Answer:

s = 22.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for the speed change of a coach moving along a straight section of the road and starting braking at a speed of 20 m / s has the form v (t) = 25-5t. Using integral calculus, determine the coach's braking distance.

v (t) = 25 - 5 t

at t = 0 , v = 20 m/s

Let the distance is s.

s =\int v(t) dt\\\\s =\int (25 - 5t)dt\\\\s= 25 t - 2.5 t^2 \\

Let at t = t, the v = 20

So,

20 = 25 - 5 t

t = 1 s

So, s = 25 x 1 - 2.5 x 1 = 22.5 m
