Answer:

378 and 380

Step-by-step explanation:

The two even consecutive numbers that add up to 758 are going to be very close to half of 758. This is because two half of 758 are going to be the most similar addends of 758. This is important because the answers will be consecutive and therefore, must also be very similar. To solve, first, divide 758 by 2. This is 379, which is not an even number. So, to find the needed addends subtract and add 1 to 379. Both of these will be even and consecutive. These two numbers are 378 and 380. Then, to check you, can add them and see that they do sum 758.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number = x

Let the second number = x + 2

x + x + 2 = 758                      Collect like terms

2x + 2 = 758                         Subtract 2

2x = 758 - 2                          Combine

2x = 756                                Divide by 2

2x/2 = 756/2

x = 378

The first number is 378

The second number 380

If your teacher is really fussy, you can do it this way.

Let the first number = 2x

Let the second number = 2x + 2

The reason for this is to guarantee that both numbers were even to start with.

2x + 2x+2 = 758                    Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 758                          Subtract 2

4x = 756                                Divide by 4

x = 756/4

x = 189

Therefore 2x = 378

2x + 2 = 380                 Just as before.

x²-8x +y²+12y = -27
x²-8x+16 + y+12y+36 = -27+16+36=25
(x-4)² + (y+6)² = 25

Try this Adjust the slider on the right to change the scale factor. Drag the center point O. Dilation is where the polygon grows or shrinks but keeps the same overall shape. It's a little like zooming in or out on a camera. In the figure above, the polygon is a rectangle ABCD. As you adjust the slider on the right, the transformed rectangle A'B'C'D gets bigger and smaller, but remains the same shape</span></span>

Find the square root of -36.<br> A-6<br> B 6<br> C Cannot be done
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: C) Cannot be done

Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.
