Answer:

33, 34

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem statement is competent confusing. is that really what your teacher asked you ?

adding two even integer numbers (it did not matter which ones) always result in an even number.

67 is uneven.

so it cannot be the result of 2 even numbers. "consecutive" or not. let alone the fact that 2 even numbers cannot actually be consecutive, because there is always an uneven number after each even number. but with some eyes closed one can understand that this could have meant "an even number and the next even number after that". but still, my first point is a real blocker.

so, I decided to ignore "even" and went for "two consecutive numbers".

x + (x+1) = 67

2x + 1 = 67

2x = 66

x = 33

x+1 = 34

$6000 invested at an APR a 4.4% for 20 years what is the balance in the account after 20 years

butalik [34]

Answer:

The balance in the account after 20 years will be $11280.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$ .

In this problem

We want to find T, when $P = 6000, I = 0.044, t = 20$

The first step is find the earnings due to interest. So

$E = P*I*t = 6000*0.044*20 = 5280$

Adding to the principal to find the balance

$T = E + P = 5280 + 6000 = 11280$

The balance in the account after 20 years will be $11280.

Bill bought a new cellular phone. His monthly bill will be $32.99 each month which includes 100 minutes of use. Additional minut

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the total number of minutes that the phone is used in a month.

Let C represent the amount of the bill for using m minutes.

His monthly bill will be $32.99 each month which includes 100 minutes of use. Additional minutes will cost $0.19 per minute. It means that the cost of additional minutes is

0.19(m - 100). Therefore, the linear model representing the amount of the bill would be

C = 0.19(m - 100) + 32.99
