Answer:

-19, -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller integer. Then the larger is x+1 and their relationship is ...

x +1 = 20 + 2x

-19 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract x+20 from both sides.

The smaller integer is -19; the larger is -18.

Al fotocopiar una credencial, primero se amplia al triple y posteriormente la copia resultante se reduce a la mitad. ¿Cual es el

ad-work [718]

Using google translate:
When photocopying a credential, it is first enlarged to triple and subsequently the resulting copy is halved. What is the final effect on the original credential? If the credentials is a rectangle of 10 by 6 cm. What area will you have in the first photocopy? And in the second?

Original: 10 by 6 cm ; Area = length * width = 10 x 6 = 60 cm²

first copy: enlarged to triple
10 x 3 = 30
6 x 3 = 18
30 x 18 = 540 cm²

second copy: halved
30 x 1/2 = 15
18 x 1/2 = 9
15 x 9 = 135 cm²

1kg= 2.2 pounds Change 44 pounds in kg

Lyrx [107]

Answer:
44 pounds = 20 kg

Explanation:
We are given that:
1 kg = 2.2 pounds

To convert 44 pounds into kg, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 kg .................> 2.2 pounds
?? kg .................> 44 pounds

Now, we solve as follows:
4 kg = $\frac{44*1}{2.2} = 20$ pounds

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

With a vertex (h, k) at (0, 3) and given that a = -3, then the equation of this parabola in vertex form is as follows:

y = a(x - h)2 + k

y = -3(x - 0)2 + 3

y = -3x2 + 3
