The question gives us that the sum of two consecutive odd integeres is 244, and we are asked to find the value of the smaller integer. Well, we can first assign the variable x to the smaller integer, and the variable y to the larger odd integer.
x = smaller odd integer
y = larger odd integer
The question says that the sum of two <u>consecutive</u> odd integers is 244. This means that if x is an odd integer, the next odd integer can be expressed as x + 2. This means that the value of y is x + 2. Next, we can create an equation modeling the problem.
x + y = 244
x + (x + 2) = 244
x + x + 2 = 244
2x + 2 = 244
2x = 242
x = 121
Therefore, the value of the smaller integer is 121, and the value of the larger integer is 121 + 2 = 123. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!
the correct x intercept would be 1 and -4 i believe!
Answer:
The length of Michelle's forearm is 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
To convert feet to inches, multiply by 12
we know that
The length of Michelle's forearm was 3/4 of a foot
Convert to inches
Multiply the length in feet by 12
therefore
The length of Michelle's forearm is 9 inches
Answer: y = 0.45x + 21
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the number of minutes used in a month.
Let y represent the monthly cost for x minutes.
If we plot y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, a straight line would be formed. The slope of the straight line would be
Slope, m = (304.5 - 183)/(630 - 360)
m = 121.5/270 = 0.45
The equation of the straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where
c = y intercept
m = slope
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 360, y = 183 and m = 0.45 into y = mx + c. It becomes
183 = 0.45 × 360 + c
183 = 162 + c
c = 183 - 162
c = 21
The equation for the monthly cost is
y = 0.45x + 21
