Answer:

The numbers are

22 and 23 to solve a problem like this, we need to read and define as we go. Let me explain. So we know that there are two consecutive integers. They can be

x and x+1

. Since their consecutive, one has to be 1

number higher (or lower) than the other. Ok, so first we need "seven times the larger"( 7x+1)

Next, we need to "minus three times the smaller" 7(x+1)−3x

Is equal to " 957(x+1)−3x=95

Alright! There's the equation, now we just need to solve for x! First we are going to get everything on one side and distribute the 7=7x+7−3x−95=4x−88

Pull out a

=4(x−22)Now that we have two terms, we can set them both equal to

0 and solve.4≠0

This can never be true, lets move to the next term (x−22)=0x=

22 That's it! So your two consecutive numbers are

15 is what percent of 20

Lera25 [3.4K]

100%/x%=20/15
(100/X)*x=20/15*x --I multiply both sides of the equation by X
100=1.33333333333*x --I divided both sides of the equation by .........................................(1.33333333333) to get X
100/1.33333333333=x
75=x
x=75

15 is 75% of 20

If you rolled two dice what is the probability that you would roll a 4 or a 5

Masja [62]

Hello there! Given that normal dice are numbered 1-6, individually rolling a 4 or a 5 would give a 1/6 probability. That converts to about 17% as a percentage because we can multiply 1 by 100 to get 100/6, then divide 100 by 6 to get 16.6666. When rounding, that gives approximately 17%. However, if we combined probabilities, we would find that rolling a 4 or a 5 collectively gives a 2/6 probability, which is approximately 33% as a decimal.

In terms of individual probabilities, you would be 17% likely to roll one of them. In terms of collectiveness, the likelihood of rolling a 4 or 5 would render 33% on each die. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
