Answer:

-4 and -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all,... OH MAN,... that is serious brain twisting logic (if you can call it logic) and to be fair I had to ask a math expert person I'm acquainted with,... cause I didn't know either,... so nothing to be ashamed about,...

If we let 2x equal the lesser of the two consecutive EVEN integers, and we let y equal 2x+2 be the greater of the two consecutive EVEN integers,

(For example, this is like x = 1, so 2x=2, y=4 or x=7, so 2x=14 and y=16, we add 2 to the lesser even integer to get the next CONSECUTIVE even integer.)

This, y=2x+2, is one of the equations we need. To get the other,

"Four times the lesser (4*2x) is (=) 12 less (-12) than twice the greater (2y)."

Doing it all in math, we get:

4(2x) = 2y - 12

This simplifies to:

8x = 2y - 12

And using the first equation (y=2x+2) we can substitute "2x+2" in for "y"

8x = 2(2x + 2) - 12

Simplify the right side by first distributing:

8x = 4x + 4 - 12

Combine like terms on the right.

8x = 4x - 8

Subtract 4x from both sides

4x = -8

Divide both sides by 4

x= -2

Remember, our lesser even integer is 2x, so the lesser integer is 2*(-2)= -4, the greater is (-4)+2= -2.

Final answer: The two consecutive even integers are -4 and -2.

To be even more fair I don't fully understand this completely either,... he explained it to me and I and getting it,... so anyway,... Hope it helps, and

Chow,...!

Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the

nadezda [96]

Y = 6 + x

We can use this equation to find the total amount of flour that Otto used in the recipe.

The constraints on 'x' and 'y' are that they must both be positive, because we cannot have a negative amount of flour.

And a restraint something like 50 cups of flour total because one person making a recipe won't use that many cups of flour.

Scott wants to cover his patio with concrete pavers. If the patio is shaped like a trapezoid whose bases are 11 feet and 13 feet

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

Explanation:

Scott wants to cover a trapezoid-shaped patio

This means that:

To get the number of square feet of pavers he'll need, we need to get the area of his patio

Area of trapezium id calculated as follows:

$Area = \frac{base_{1}+base_{2}}{2} * height$

We are given that:

base₁ = 11 ft

base₂ = 13 ft

height = 14 ft

We now substitute with the givens to get the area as follows:

$Area = \frac{11+13}{2} * 14 = 168ft^2$

This means that:

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

Hope this helps :)

Which statements about the graph of f(x) =√x are true?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's think about what values you can take square root of...

anything but negative values!

So the first one is not correct because you can also take square root of 0,

squareroot of 0 is 0.

So because of this, C and D are both correct, E is correct because root x is an increasing function. B is incorrect because (0,0) is an intercept.

Please help I'm so confused

Inessa [10]

Just look up the name of your worksheet then after the name type in answer key. If that doesn't work just download or search google "desmos calculator" and type in your points. (if you're on a IOS/ a phone or iPad then download the app. if you on a computer or something of that nature then teach it on google)
