Find four consecutive numbers whose sum equals 218

Softa [21]

Answer: 53, 54, 55, and 56

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of 4 consecutive numbers is 218 and it asks us to find the numbers.

4 consecutive numbers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first number

X + 1 ⇒ second number

X + 2 ⇒ third number

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number

Since the sum of our 4 consecutive numbers is 218, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 = 218

On the left side of the equation, we can combine our x's and our numbers.

4x + 6 = 218

-6 -6 ← subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4x = 212

÷4 ÷4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 4

X = 53

X ⇒ first number = 53

X + 1 ⇒ second number = 54

X + 2 ⇒ third number = 55

X + 3 ⇒ fourth number = 56

Therefore, our 4 consecutive numbers are 53, 54, 55, and 56.

Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends. Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest on

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Karen had 45 m and m's candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of m and m's candy be 'x'.

Now given:

Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends.

So we can say that;

Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally = 5

Also Given:

Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest one digit number.

Now we know that;

Largest one digit number is 9.

So we can say that;

Each person receives m and m's = 9

We need to find number of m and m's Karen have.

Solution:

So we can say that;

Total number of m and m's Karen have is equal to Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally multiplied by number of m and m's can each person receives.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of m and m's Karen had = $9\times5 = 45$

Hence Karen had 45 m and m's candy.

2. Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer to paint a room. If they work together, they can complete the job in 4 hours. Explai

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

Rates

The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.

We have that:

Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.

Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).

The together rate is 1/4. So

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{15+x}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + x + x}{x(15+x)}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + 2x}{x(15+x)}$

Applying cross multiplication.

$x^2 + 15x = 4(15 + 2x)$

$x^2 + 15x = 60 + 8x$

$x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0$

Quadratic equation with $a = 1, b = 7, c = -60$ . So

$\Delta = 7^{2} - 4*1*60 = 289$

$x_{1} = \frac{-7 + \sqrt{289}}{2} = 5$

$x_{2} = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{289}}{2} = -12$

Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.
