Answer:
3(n-5)=2n+16
Step-by-step explanation:
3 lots of 'n' <em>and </em>5 means 3 times both values so these values are put into a bracket with a common multiplier (ie. the 3)
3(5 - n)
16 more than 2 lots of 'n' means that n has to be doubled. n + n = 2n. add 16 to this and we have
2n + 16
if these values are both equal (hence why they are in an equation) then all that is needed is for them to be set equal alongside each other.
3(n-5) = 2n+16

So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
20 and 22
You would create an equation that would simulate this situation and solve for x to find the first even integer. Then add 2 to x to find the second even integer.
<span>There are two possible ways where you can express this. First, is by presenting the equation net of 5 percent which is "x=1.0355n+2.6505m". The other way to express such is by presenting it with gross amount which is "x= (1-0.05)(1.09n+2.79m)"
