What is the sum of two consecutive integers is less than 83. Find the larger of the two integers

1 answer:

5 0

Since the terms are consecutive:
x = 1st integer
x + 1 = 2nd integer

x + x + 1 = 83
x + x = 82
2x = 82
x = 41
x + 1 = 42

The larger of the two is 42.

Find two positive numbers such that the ratio of the two numbers is 7 to 3 and the product of the two numbers is 525.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

35 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Process of elimination:

Try 105 and 5 - 105 is way too much and 5 is way too little. We know that they are between 5 and 105.

Try 50 and 10.5 - This is closer, but 50 is still too much and 10.5 is too little. We now know that the two numbers are between 10.5 and 50

Try 30 and 17.5 - This is very close, but now 30 is not enough and 17.5 is too much. We now know that the smaller number is between 10.5 and 17.5 as well as the larger number is between 30 and 50.

Try 40 and 13.125 - This is also very close, but 40 is too much and 13.125 is too little. We now know that the lower number is between 13.125 and 17.5 as well as the larger number is between 30 and 40.

Try 35 and 15 - Success: 35 and 5 make the simplified ratio of 7:3! They also are products of 525!
