Answer:

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

Answer:

13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using implicit differentiation:

First take derivative:

6y $\frac{dy}{dx}$ -3 $\frac{dy}{dx}$ -10x+7 = 0

Next isolate the $\frac{dy}{dx}$ :

6y $\frac{dy}{dx}$ -3 $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 10x-7

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ (6y-3) = 10x-7

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{10x-7}{6y-3}$

Finally plug in the point (2,3):

$\frac{10(2)-7}{6(3)-3} = \frac{13}{15}$

15 is what percent of 5

fiasKO [112]

15=5(y)
Divide both sides by 5.
3=y
Because it is not a decimal that means it is 300% not 30%. 15 is 300% of 5.
