Let x = small number
Let y = large number
Because they are consecutive even numbers,they must have a difference of 2:
y-x=2
y=2+x
Eqn 1: x+(2+x)=14
Eqn 2: x(2+x)=48
2x+2=14
2x=12
x=6
This means y must be 8
so your two numbers are 6 and 8
Answer:
23:44 or 1:1.91
Step-by-step explanation:
w:l =69:132 Divide each number by 3
= 23:44 Divide each number by 23
≈ 1:1.91
The width-to-length ratio is 23:44 or approximately 1:1.91
Answer:
6n = 1.50
and
13n = 3.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in writing equations that relate the number of ears of corn sold and the cost.For Al’s produce stand, let the price per corn sold be n
Thus;
6 * n = 1.50
6n = $1.50 •••••••(i)
For the second;
let the price per corn sold be n;
13 * n = $3.12
-> 13n = 3.12 •••••••••(ii)
Answer:
x = - 2, x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x² + 1 = - 13x - 5 ( add 13x - 5 to both sides )
5x² + 13x + 6 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 5 × 6 = 30 and sum = 13
The factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
5x² + 10x + 3x + 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
5x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(5x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
5x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 5x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
