Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of four consecutive whole numbers is 94 and it asks us to find the largest number.

Three consecutive whole numbers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first number

X + 1 ⇒ second number

X + 2 ⇒ third number

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number

Since the sum of our four consecutive whole numbers is 94, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 = 94

We can combine the x's on the left side of the equation and combine the numbers as well.

4x + 6 = 94

-6 -6 ← subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4x = 88

÷4 ÷4

X = 22

X ⇒ first number = 22

X + 1 ⇒ second number = 23

X + 2 ⇒ third number = 24

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number = 25

Therefore, the largest number would be 25.

An author is writing and illustrating a new book. The ratio of pages with text to pages with illustrations is represented in the

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Th number of pages is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of pages of text shown in the illustration is 3:2. This implies that for every 2 pages of illustrations, there are 3 pages of text. Therefore, for 22 pages of illustration we shall have;

2 page of illustration = 3 page of text

Then

22 page of illustration = x pages of text

Then by Cross multiplication

$22 \times 3 = x \times 2$

$66 = 2x$

x = $\frac{66}{2}$

x = 33

Jonah is going to the store to buy candles. Small candles cost $2.50 and large candles cost $7.00. He needs to buy at least 20 c

artcher [175]

The system of linear inequalities are:

$a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$

Solution:

Let "a" be the number of small candles bought

Let "b" be the number of large candles bought

He needs to buy at least 20 candles

Therefore, number of small candles and number of large candles bought must be at least 20

Thus, we frame a inequality as:

$a + b \geq 20$

"at least" means greater than or equal to

Here, we used "greater or equal to" symbol because, he can buy 20 candles or more than 20 candles also

From given,

Cost of 1 small candle = $ 2.50

Cost of 1 large candle = $ 7

He can spend no more than 80 dollars

Which means, he spend maximum 80 dollars or less than 80 dollars also

So we have to use "less than or equal to" symbol

Thus, we frame a inequality as:

Number of small candles bought x Cost of 1 small candle + number of large candles bought x Cost of 1 large candle $\leq$ 80

$a \times 2.50 + b \times 7 \leq 80\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$

Thus the system of linear inequalities are:

$a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$
