Tripling the greater of two consecutive even integers gives the same result as subtracting 10 from the lesser even integer. What

The first problem is translating the word problem into a math problem. 

Let n = one of the even integers Let n+2 = the other integer 

Now let us write an equation and solve it: 

3(n+2) = n - 10 This equation expresses what is written in the word problem. 

3(n+2) = n - 10
3n + 6 = n - 10
3n - n = -10 -6
2n = -16
n = -8
n+2 = -6

2b-3/b-2 = 3b/b+2 ... Solutions by cross multiplying
Rzqust [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(2b-3)/(b-2)(b+2) = 3b(b-2)/(b+2)(b-2)

2b²+4b-3b-6/b²-4=3b²-6b/b²-4

2b²+b- 6= 3b²-6b

move square to square unknown to unknown

-b²+7b-6/b²-4

the length of a rectangle is 6 meters less than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 140m². Find the dimensions of the
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

Answer:

approximately

1623.6

Step-by-step explanation:

16 1/2%=.165 which is approximately equal to 1/6, so we can just multiply the original number by 6.

Which conic's equation has 2 squares with the same signs and different leading coefficients?
Romashka [77]

We want to see which is the conic equation that has 2 squares with the same sign and different leading coefficients.

We will see that it is the equation of the ellipse.

Now let's see why that is the correct answer.

The general conic equation is of the form:

A*(x - a)^2 + B*(x - b)^2 = R^2

Where A and B are the leading coefficients, (a, b) is the center of the figure, and R is the average radius of the figure.

For example, if A = B, this would be the equation of a circle, but we must have two different leading coefficients.

If we write:

A = 1/C

B = 1/K

(both are positive, because "it has two squares with the same signs").

Then we get the equation:

\frac{ (x - a)^2}{C} + \frac{(x - b)^2}{K} = R^2

We get the equation we wanted.

The same sign in both square parts and different leading coefficients.

The above equation is the general equation of an ellipse.

The graph of function f is shown. Function g is represented by the table. Which statement correctly compares the two functions?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph of function 'f' represents,

x - intercept of the function 'f' → (1, 0)

y - intercept of the function → (0, 6)

As x-approaches ∞, value of the function approaches (-2)

Points in the given table is for the another function 'g'

x - intercept of the function 'g' → (1, 0) [For x - intercept, y = 0]

y - intercept of the function 'g' → (0, 3) [For y - intercept, x = 0]

As x approaches ∞, value of function 'g' approaches (-1).

Therefore, x - intercepts of both the functions are same but end behavior are different when x → ∞.

Option (A) will be the answer.
