Consecutive numbers can be written as such:
n + (n + 1) = 73
Open the parentheses and simplify:
2n + 1 = 73
Subtract 1 from both sides:
2n = 72
Divide both sides by 2:
n = 36
The numbers are 36 and 37
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+x+3(2x)=63
3x+6x=63
9x=63
9x/9=63/9
X=7
2x=14
3(2x)=42
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -
x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-
)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
= 
(-)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -x + 3
y = -.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
Answer:
y = (7/3)x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3
2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b
- Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.
3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b
4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14 b = -9
5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
Answer:
The answer is 15 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.
(4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds.
15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.
15/4 × 1/4 pounds.
15/16 pounds.
Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces = 15 ounces.
Thus, The answer is 15 ounces
