Answer:

±94

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Algebra I

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Solving Quadratic Equations
Consecutive Integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x (1st consecutive term)

x + 2 (2nd consecutive term)

Step 2: Set up equation

x(x + 2) = 2208

Step 3: Solve for x

Distribute x: x² + 2x = 2208
Rewrite in Standard Form: x² + 2x - 2208 = 0
Factor quadratic: (x - 46)(x + 48) = 0
Find roots: x = -48, 46

Step 4: Identify Consecutive Integers

Possibility 1: x = -48

1st Consecutive Even Term: -48

2nd Consecutive Even Term: -48 + 2 = -46

Possibility 2: x = 46

1st Consecutive Even Term: 46

2nd Consecutive Even Term: 46 + 2 = 48

Step 5: Find sums

Possibility 1: x = -48

-48 + -46 = -94

Possibility 2: x = 46

46 + 48 = 94

Grace is three times as old as Hans, but in 5 years she will be twice as old as Hans is then. How old are they now? Set up an th

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of Hans and y be the present age of Grace,

Since, in present Grace is three times as old as Hans,

⇒ y = 3x

⇒ 3x - y = 0

Now, after 5 years,

The age of Hans = x + 5,

And, the age of Grace = y + 5

Also, in 5 years Grace will be twice as old as Hans is then,

⇒ y + 5 = 2 ( x + 5 )

⇒ y + 5 = 2x + 10

⇒ 2x - y = -5

Hence, the required system of linear equations is,

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

In the XY-plane, the X-axis contains all ordered pairs such that:

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option B

y coordinate is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in two dimension rectangular system of coordinates with two mutually perpendicular lines called x and y axis.

X axis is the horizontal line and y the vertical line, the point of intersection of these two lines is called origin with x=0: y=0

To the right of origin, positive values are marked and left negative. Similarly for y axis, above origin positive values and below negative values.

Thus we have along x axis, y values to be 0

Hence any point on x coordinate will be of the form (a,0) where a can be any real number

So option B is right

Joe sold a total of 10 baked goods. Each cookie costs $1.25 and each brownie costs $2.50. Joe made $20 at the bake sale. How man

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

4 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.

Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,

b +c= 10 -----(1)

Amount of money received= $20

b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20

2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)

From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)

Substitute (3) into (2):

2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20

Expand:

2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20

25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20

-1.25c +25= 20

Being constants to 1 side:

-1.25c= 20 -25

-1.25c= -5

c= -5 ÷(-1.25)

c= 4

Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.
