Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:
The first number is three times the second number. So:
Substitute:
Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:
And divide both sides by two:
So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
The answer would be $4.24
Lets calculate how much she walks each weeks and then we multiply that by the number of weeks.
weekWalk = 5(2) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13
therefore, she walks 13 miles per week, if she walked for 29 weeks then we have:
total walked =(29)(13) = 377
so she walked 377 miles total, so her original estimate is not reasonable
Answer:
14 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
They are the ONLY consecutive even numbers
And also
x and (x+2)
x(x+2)=224 ( product of a number and the consecutive of that number)
x ²+ 2x-224=0
(x+16)(x-14) =0
x=-16 or 14
In this case 14 and (14+2) 14 and 16
The integers are either 14 and 16 or -14 and -16.
The degree of the polynomial will tell you the max amount of zeros you will have. 11 in this case.
However you can also have 9,7,5,3,1 (keep subtracting by 2)
So the answer is 1.
