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.

Answer:
250 - 20 < 80 + 15x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Beth has 250 books and 20 books sold each week
While on the other hand, Martin has 80 books and sell 15 books each week
Let us assume each week be x
Now the equations are
Beth 250 - 20x
Martin 80 + 15 x
Now the inequality would be
250 - 20 < 80 + 15x
