Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say that the small number is x, the consecutive one must be x+1

x(x+1) = x²+5 ; distribute x

x²+x = x²+5 ; subtract x² from both sides

x= 5

check :

5*6 = 30

5²+5 = 25+5 = 30

Whitney starts the engine on her small private airplane. The engine drives a propeller with a radius of 6.5 feet and its centerl

BartSMP [9]

To calculate time at t= 2 minutes. We substitute at t = 2.
h = 10.5 + 6.5 sin(850t)
h = 10.5 + 6.5 sin (850 * 2)
h = 10.5 - 6.4012 = 4.1 feet
Hence at time t = 2, height = 4.1 feet.

Answer:

Answer (a):

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Answer (b)

9 large dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.

Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;

$75 for each large dog.

Let the number of small dogs be 's'

And the number of large dogs be 'l'

A system of equations will be:

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;

43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;

32l = 288 , l = $\frac{288}{32}$ = 9

So there are 9 large dogs.
