kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

x = 1st number

x+1 = 2nd number

x+x+1 = 17

Combine like terms

2x+1 = 17

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1=17-1

2x = 16

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =16/2

x=8

x+1 = 9

The larger number is 9

There are 20,000 members of a zoo. The percent of
schepotkina [342]

1500 members have a contributor  membership.

64.8% of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are 20,000 members of a zoo.

⇒ Total members = 20,000

From the graph shown,

7.5% of the members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the number of members who have contributor  membership :</u>

⇒ 7.5% of 20,000

⇒ (7.5/100) × 20,000

⇒ 7.5 × 200

⇒ 1500 members.

Therefore, 1500 members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships :</u>

The percentage of noncontributory  memberships = 100% - 7.5% ⇒ 92.5%

The percentage of individual memberships = 60%

∴ What percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships ⇒ (60 / 92.5) × 100 = 64.8%

Write and equation parrallel to y=-5/2x+9 that passes through the <br> point (-6,7).
Black_prince [1.1K]
To be parallel, gradients are the same!
so the gradient is -5/2.
y=-5/2x +c
substitute the points youve been givrn into this to find c!
7=-5/2 (-6) +c
7=15 +c
c must equal -7
y=-5/2x -7
