The product of two consecutive positive integers is 29 more than their sum. Find the integers
Rina8888 [55]
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5    then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4  This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6    then: (x+1)=6+1=7    This solution is right.

Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.

Heather finished the 12-kilometer race in 2 hours. If Heather kept her pace constant, what was her rate? A. 24 km/hr. B. 14 km/h
andriy [413]

Answer: D, 6km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heather can finish a 12-kilometer race in 2 hours, and now we have to find how many kilometers she can ride/run at in 1 hour.

How many hours can Heather run in 1 hour? To solve that, we can use the equation 12 ÷ 2.

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

Therefore, if Heather keeps her pace constant, then her rate will be 6km/hr, or D.
