The integers are -8 and -6.

To find these, first assume that the first integer is x. Then, because it is an even integer, assume the next is x + 2. Now we can write an equation to solve.

Tripling the greater = subtracting 10 from the lesser

3(x + 2) = x - 10 ----> Distribute the 3

3x + 6 = x - 10 ----> Subtract x from both sides

2x + 6 = -10 ----> Subtract 6 from both sides

2x = -16 ----> Divide both sides by 2

x = -8

Which is the first integer. We then can determine that the second one, which is two higher than the first, would be -6.

What is the answer to this
Xelga [282]
Lateral area of triangular prism = (a+b+c)h where a, b and c are the sides of the triangular base, h is the height.

LA= (a+b+c)h=
a=4
b=6
c=?
c=9
h=8

c=√6²+4²=√80 or approximately 9

you should get An Area= (4+6+√80)8

LA= 80+8√80

Challenge Yossi used to have a square garage with 246 ft of floor space. recently built an addition to it. The garage is still a
irina [24]

Considering the perimeter of a square, it is found that:

  • The length of one side of the garage​ originally was of 61.5 ft.
  • The length of one side of the garage​ now is of 92.25 ft.
  • The percent increase in the length of one​ side was of 50%.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a square?</h3>

The perimeter of a square of side length s is given by four times the length, that is:

P = 4s.

Before the change, the perimeter was of 246 ft, hence:

4s = 246

s = 246/4

s = 61.5.

The length of one side of the garage​ originally was of 61.5 ft.

After that, the perimeter increased by 50%, hence:

P = 246 x 1.5 = 369.

4s = 369

s = 369/4

s = 92.25.

The length of one side of the garage​ now is of 92.25 ft.

The percent increase is the increase divided by the initial value, hence:

(92.25 - 61.5)/61.5 = 50%.

The percent increase in the length of one​ side was of 50%.
