The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
The answer is 7.76 because the fraction written as a decimal would be 7.76 and not any of the other choices they want you to find which number is equal to the fraction number
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -3, y =3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4/3x - 1
y = 1/3x + 4 -------> 4y = 4/3x + 16
Adding the first equation and the new second equation together:
5y = 15 ------> y = 3
Plug y = 3 into one of the original equations:
3 = 1/3x + 4
-1 = 1/3x
x = -3
To answer this you could do a couple things. 1. Actually calculate both tips and then subtract them. Here is the math ( assuming it is $60, not 60% that you mean). a. 0.15 x 60 = $9. b. 0.0825 x 2 x 60=$9.90. c. 9.90-9.00= $0.90 difference.
The other strategy would be to find the difference on the percents and then multiply by $60. a. 8.25%x2=16.5%-15%. Difference of 1.5%. b. 0.015 x $60=$0.90.
