Answer:
42 and 44
Step-by-step explanation:
The even numbers are numbers which can be written as 2n where n is any integer number.
Therefore, two consecutive numbers would be "2n" and "2n + 2"
We then have that
2n + (2n+2) = 86
4n + 2 = 86
4n = 84
n = 21
And the even number 2n is 2(21) = 42.
(We can verify this answer by doing 42 + 44 = 86)

Answer:
1200 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent one way distance.
We have been given that a plane averaged 800 mph on a trip going east, but only 400 mph on the return trip.
The time taken while going east would be
.
The time taken while returning back would be
.
Since the total flying time in both directions was 4.5 hr, so we will equate sum of both times with 4.5 as:

Make a common denominator:







Therefore, the one-way distance was 1200 miles.
The sum of all angles in an octagon is given by
180*(n-2) >>>>>>>>>with n = 8
180*(8-2) = 1080 degrees
A + B = 1080 .......where
A is the <span>angle of an octagon which is twice that of the other seven angles
</span><span>
B equals the sum of the other seven angles
If we assume each angle of B is equal to each other, then
B = x+x+x+x+x+x+x = 7x
</span>
And A = 2x
The equation that results is
A + B = 2x +7x = 9x =1080
x = 120 degrees
2x = A = 240 degrees
The answer is 1/2. Count how many a out of the total.
