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)
Answer:
Option C is the correct answer.
C. 5•(-20)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the insurance payment for the car follows a certain pattern that can be represented through an expression. The payment is decreasing by $20 every year. As we don't know the total payment amount per period, so we cannot calculate how much is paid per period/year for insurance but we can calculate the rate at which this payment is decreasing.
Change in payment = t * (-20)
The above expressions can be used to calculate the amount of change in payment i payment is decreasing by a constant $20 every year, after t years.
So, if we want to calculate the change in payment after say 5 years, we can replace t with 5 in the equation and calculate the change,
Change in payment = 5 * (-20)
Change in payment = - $100
Let log5 125 = x
Removing log you get 5^x = 125
Rewrite 125 as 5^3
Now 5^x = 5^3
x = 3
