Find four consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and third is eight les than twice the sum of the second and fourth

1 answer:

5 0

X, x+1, x+2, x+3 are 4 consecutive integers

2(x + x+2) = 5(x+3) - 26
2(2x+2) = 5(x+3) - 26
4x + 4 = 5x + 15 - 26
4x + 4 = 5x - 11
15 = x
15, 16, 17, 18

x, x+2, x+4 consecutive even integers
2(x+4)+11 = x + 9
2x + 8 + 11 = x + 9
2x + 19 = x + 9
x = -10
-10, -8, -6

Answer:

If you really meant that the number of dogs is 12 greater than 3 times the number of cats then:

3 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

21= number of dogs

c = number of cats

21 = 12 + (3c)

3c = 9

c = 3

Which sentence below best explains the process of upwelling

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Upwelling is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface. ... Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom

12 yellow balls and 9 red balls are placed in an urn. Two balls are then drawn in succession without replacement. What is the pr

denis23 [38]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{35}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When the first draw is done there are 9 red balls in a sample size of 21. So there probability of drawing a red ball will be $\frac{9}{21}$

When the second draw is done, there will be 12 yellow balls in a sample size of 20 since the first ball will not have been replaced into the bag. So the chance of someone drawing the second ball in the second draw is $\frac{12}{20}$

The probability of them happening in this order is the product of both probabilities:

$\frac{9}{21} * \frac{12}{20} = \frac{9}{35}$

Determine the average speed of the current in a river if a boat moves at 20 miles/hour in still water and takes 3 hours to trave

Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the current in a river is 6 miles per hour

Solution:

Given that,

Speed of boat in still water = 20 miles per hour

Time taken = 3 hours

Distance downstream = 78 miles

To find: Speed of current

If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then:

Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr

Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr

Therefore, speed downstream is given as:

$\text{ speed downstream } = \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{78}{3}\\\\\text{ speed downstream } = 26 \text{ miles per hour }$

We know that,

Speed downstream = (u + v)

26 = 20 + v

v = 26 - 20

v = 6 miles per hour

Thus speed of the current in a river is 6 miles per hour
