Two consecutive even integers have the following property. When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer,

the result is two less than five times the smaller integer.
Rafael tries to model this scenario with the equation shown below. Unfortunately, Rafael has made an error on the left side of the equation. Explain what error he made.
n + 3n + 2 = 5n - 2
Write the correct equation (if you haven't already) and solve it to find the two consecutive even integers.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller integer be n.

Then the larger integer is n + 2.

"When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer, the result is two less than five times the smaller integer."

The correct equation is:

n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2

His mistake is not using parentheses on the left side. Since he left out the parentheses, the left side is not "the smaller integer added to three times the larger integer", but rather it is "the smaller integer added to 2 plus 3 times the smaller integer."

n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2

n + 3n + 6 = 5n - 2

4n + 6 = 5n - 2

8 = n

n = 8

n + 2 = 10

The integers are 8 and 10.

Sarah took the advertising department from her company on a round trip to meet with a potential client. Including Sarah a total
dimulka [17.4K]
You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.

$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)

x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)

Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:

$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230

$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230

-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230

-$990x = $2,970

x = 3


Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

3 + y = 11

y = 8


Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.

What is 6.7086 rounded to the nearest tenth
padilas [110]
Hello!

Decimals used to confuse me a lot! :D 

When a question asks to round the decimal to the "nearest tenth", it simply means to round it to one decimal place.

6.7086 would be rounded to 6.7 if we round it to the nearest tenth. See, the 7 is in one place after the decimal point. 

The best way to understand decimal places, in my opinion, is to search up a tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. chart. Hope this gave you a better understanding of decimal places!
