Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller integer be x.

The other integer is 1 greater than 3 times x, or 3x + 1.

The product is 154.

x(3x + 1) = 154

3x^2 + x - 154 = 0

157 = 2 * 7 * 11

14 * 11 = 154

22 * 7 = 154

(3x + 22)(x - 7) = 0

3x + 22 = 0 or x - 7 = 0

3x = -22 or x = 7

x = -22/3 or x = 7

-22/3 is not a positive integer, so we discard that solution.

The smaller integer is 7.

3x + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 22

The greater integer is 22.

The sum of the integers is 7 + 22 = 29

What is the difference in the size between 1/4 and 1 1/2
masya89 [10]
1 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/2
Difference means subtraction

So we do:
3/2-1/4
To get the same denominator, we can multiply the first fraction by 2
6/4-1/4

Then we subtract the numerators and leave the denominator
So the final answer is 5/4 of 1 1/4

Hope this helps

Alik [6]

Answer:

  23/21

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is computed from ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

For the given points, the slope is ...

  m = (26 -3)/(18-(-3)) = 23/21

The slope of the trend line is 23/21.
