The small number is 2.
The large number is 3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.
- x be the small integer.
- x+1 be the large integer.
The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer
The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)
It is given that,
- The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- Here, the small integer is represented as x.
<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>
(2x+1) = 3x-1
Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,
3x-2x = 1+1
x = 2
Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.
Answer:
x=5 , x=4, x=2
i got this answer by setting the x-5=0 then solve for x. same for each x-5, x-4, x-2.
Answer:
You can buy 7 waffle cones.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let sundae = x
Let waffle cones = y
4.25x + 3.75y ≤ 50
4.25 (5) + 3.75y ≤ 50
21.25 + 3.75y ≤ 50
3.75y ≤ 28.75
y ≤ 7.666666666
* round to the nearest whole to get 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this is confusing b/c they are asking about two trains traveling at differnt speeds, but.. if you put the speeds together and make one train... imaginary.. ofc... traveling at the speed of both trains combined... when will it be 50 miles from the station?
maybe you can solve that? I'll solve it below.. but.. if you can.. try it now, on your own
below is my answer... don't look until you have solved yours :P
80+70= 150kph
when will this have traveled 50Km?
you may be able to see that it will take 1/3 of an hour to travel 50 km
so 60 minutes times 1/3 = 20 minutes :)
