let x be the first integer
x+ 2 the second integer ( two consecutive even )
smaller integer added to three times the larger <span>x + 3 ( x+2)
</span>two less than five times the smaller <span>5x - 2</span>
x + 3 ( x+2) = 5x - 2
x+3x +6 = 5x -2
x=8
the first integer = 8
the second is x+2 =10
Reduce a 24 cm by 36 cm photo to 3/4 original size.
The most logical way to do this is to keep the width-to-height ratio the same: It is 24/36, or 2/3. The original photo has an area of (24 cm)(36 cm) = 864 cm^2.
Let's reduce that to 3/4 size: Mult. 864 cm^2 by (3/4). Result: 648 cm^2.
We need to find new L and new W such that W/L = 2/3 and WL = 648 cm^2.
From the first equation we get W = 2L/3. Thus, WL = 648 cm^2 = (2L/3)(L).
Solve this last equation for L^2, and then for L:
2L^2/3 = 648, or (2/3)L^2 = 648. Thus, L^2 = (3/2)(648 cm^2) = 972 cm^2.
Taking the sqrt of both sides, L = + 31.18 cm. Then W must be 2/3 of that, or W = 20.78 cm.
Check: is LW = (3/4) of the original 864 cm^2? YES.
Answer:
2 = 4/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the one for the 2 wholes, Since 2 wholes equal 4/2
because 4/2 simplified is 2 whole it I believe would be 4/2
