Answer: 2 < x < 7</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
We'll use the hinge theorem here. This says (more or less) that the larger an angle is, the side opposite of that will be longer.
Imagine that the segments with the single tickmarks represent a door swinging open/shut. The more open a door is, the further the distance it is from the handle to the frame. In terms of these triangles, the segment 25 is larger than 5x-10 because the angle 90 (opposite the 25) is larger than the angle 85 degrees (opposite the 5x-10)
In symbols we say
5x - 10 < 25
We also say 5x - 10 > 0 or 0 < 5x - 10 to ensure that the segment of length 5x-10 is not 0 or negative.
Put the two inequalities together and we get 0 < 5x - 10 < 25
------------
Solve for x
0 < 5x - 10 < 25
0+10 < 5x - 10 < 25 + 10 .... adding 10 to all sides
10 < 5x < 35
10/5 < 5x/5 < 35/5 ... dividing all sides by 5
2 < x < 7
We have x between 2 and 7, and not equal to either endpoint.

Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.
And we solve from there:
So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.

None of the offered choices is correct.
The correct equation is
.. a = (2s -2ut)/t^2 . . . . . . . . parentheses are required
