Answer:
x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a few ways this problem could be solved. The easiest route is to note that the first part of the question says "2 consecutive numbers". If the numbers are next to each other on a number line (consecutive) and x is the smaller number, the larger number is x + 1.
To check, let's find the two numbers. We know the numbers are next to each other on a number line and that together, they equal 37. Let's begin with 15 and 16.
15 + 16 = 31
These numbers are too low, as they should add to 37. Let's try 18 and 19.
18 + 19 = 37
There are the two correct numbers. If x = the smaller number, x = 18.
18 + 1 = 19
Since this is correct, we know for sure that the answer is x + 1.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(3x – 7) = 52
3x-7= -13
3x= -6
x= -2
5x -3 = 12
5x -3 + 3 = 12 + 3 [Add 3 to each side]
5x + 0 = 15 [Evaluate]
5x/5 = 15/5 [Divide each side by 5]
1x = 3 [Evaluate]
The answer I get is the number 3.
Answer:
$6.50 per bag of popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b
28p + 40b= $282
17p + 20b= $160.50
this is an example of stimatanelous equations
so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b =$321
subtract the equations to give one
6p =$39
divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50
