Two consecutive numbers whose sum is 115​

Mathematics
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The two numbers would be 57 and 58.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem using algebra.  Use x to represent the smaller number and x + 1 to represent the greater number.  You use x + 1 to represent the larger number because it is 1 more than the smaller number.

x + (x + 1) = 115

2x + 1 = 115

2x = 114

x = 57

Therefore, the numbers are 57 and 58.  You can plug 57 into x + 1 to find the larger number.

The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below: 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . . let n represent the term number and f(n
VMariaS [17]
For starters, find the common change in the terms, in this case each goes down by 3. This lets you know you're gonna have a -3n in your equation as each term decreases by 3. Your equation should be in f(n)=c+rn form, with r being change in f(n), or -3 in this case. This gives you f(n)=c-3n. Now, solve for c, add 3n to both sides to get f(n)+3n=c. Plug in your n of 1 and f(n) of 20 to get c=20+3(1)=23. Plug in your c to your f(n) formula to get f(n)=23-3n as your f(n) function.

Remember that both the denominator and the square root function cannot have values less than 0.  So to figure what values can go into each we need to do a little math.  Set both the denominator and the under the radical equal to 0
x + 2 = 0            x - 3 = 0
x = -2                 x = 3

Since they must be those numbers or bigger 3 is the larger of the 2 the final answer is
x >= 3  Type in greater than into the box
