Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number which is between them. Find the even number.​

Let the two odd consecutive integer be x and x+2

Let the even number between then be x+1

If the product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number, then;

(x)(x+2) = 55 + 10(x+1)

Expand

x² + 2x = 55 + 10x + 10

x² -8x -65 = 0

x² - 13x+5x - 65 = 0

x(x-13)+5(x- 13) = 0

(x-13) (x+5) = 0

x = 13 and -5

Since the even number is x + 1

Even number = 13 + 1 = 14

Brody worked 8.5 hours at Food Lion this week and made $78.20. Based on the number of hours Brody worked and how much he was pai
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1 hour = $9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that:

Brody makes $78.20 in 8.5 hours.

So,

8.5 hours = $78.20

We need to find 1 hour pay.

So, divide both sides of the above equation by 8.5

8.5 / 8.5 hours = $78.20 / 8.5

1 hour = $9.2

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

2x - 5y=-15<br> can someone walk me through this?
HACTEHA [7]
The equation given in the question has two unknown variables in the form of "x" and "y". The exact value of "x" and "y" cannot be determined as two equations are needed to get to the exact values of "x" and "y". This equation can definitely be used to show the way for determining the values of "x" in terms of "y"and the value of "y" in terms of "x". Now let us check the equation given.
2x - 5y = - 15
2x = 5y - 15
2x = 5(y - 3)
x = [5(y - 3)]/2
Similarly the way the value of y can be determined in terms of "x" can also be shown.
2x - 5y = - 15
-5y = - 2x - 15
-5y = -(2x + 15)
5y = 2x + 15
y = (2x +15)/5
   = (2x/5) + (15/5)
   = (2x/5) + 3
So the final value of x is [5(y -3)]/2 and the value of y is (2x/5) + 3.
