Answer:

18 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number = 3x

Let the larger number =  3x + 3

The three and the plus 3 insure that the numbers are multiples of 3 and are consecutive.

3* (3x + 3) = 7/10 * 5 (3x)       Multiply both sides by 10

30*(3x + 3) = 7 * 5 * 3x          Remove the brackets

90x + 90 = 7 * 5 * 3x             Combine the right

90x + 90 = 105x                    Subtract 90x from both sides.

<u>-90x             -90x</u>

           90 = 15x                     Divide by 15

x = 90/15

x = 6

Let's see if it works.

3*(3x + 3) = 3*(18 + 3) = 3 * 21 = 63

7/10 * 5 *3x = 7/10 * 5 * 3*6 = 630 / 10 = 63

Porter drove due east 20 miles on interstate 23 then due south on interstate 77 to the nearest hundredth of a mile how far was h
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

30.48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented as a right angle triangle with sides 20 miles and 23 miles. The hypotenuse is the distance from the starting point. Pythagoras theorem states that for a right-angled triangle, the square of side of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides. It is given by the equation:

c² = a² + b², where c is the hypotenuse and a,b are the sides

Let a = 20 miles and b = 23 miles

c² = a² + b²

c² = 20² + 23²

c² = 400 + 529

c² = 929

c = √929 = 30.48

c = 30.48 miles

Which equation has a slope m=2/3<br><br>a. y=-2/3x+4<br>b. y=2/3x+4<br>c. y=3/2x+2<br>d. y=-3/2x+2
rosijanka [135]
In an equation where the order is y = mx + b, the slope is m or the coefficient of x.

In this case, all choices gives you the easy form. Just by looking at the coefficients, we can tell that B is the answer.
