Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an algebraic equation to solve this situation: x + x + 1 = 65, where x = first integer (small number) and x + 1 = the following integer.

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (x+x)+1=65
  • 2x + 1 = 65

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

  • 2x + 1 - 1 = 65 - 1
  • 2x = 64

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2 = 64/2
  • x = 32

Therefore, the smaller number is 32 while the larger number is 33.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

What is the best way to answer this mixed number 7 3/4 + 1 5/6
olga_2 [115]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is a suitable common denominator.

  (7 3/4) + (1 5/6) = (7 9/12) + (1 10/12) = (7+1) +(9/12 +10/12)

  = 8 + 19/12 = 9 + 7/12 . . . . . . change 19/12 to 1 7/12

  = 9 7/12

Option D: Two irrational solutions

Explanation:

The equation is 17+3 x^{2}=6 x

Subtracting 6x from both sides, we have,

3x^{2} -6x+17=0

Solving the equation using quadratic formula,

x=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36-4(3)(17)}}{2(3)}

Simplifying the expression, we get,

\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36-204}}{6} \\&=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{-168}}{6} \\&=\frac{6 \pm 2 i \sqrt{42}}{6}\end{aligned}

Taking out the common terms and simplifying, we have,

\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{2(3 \pm i \sqrt{42})}{6} \\&=\frac{(3 \pm i \sqrt{42})}{3}\end{aligned}

Dividing by 3, we get,

x=1+i \sqrt{\frac{14}{3}}, x=1-i \sqrt{\frac{14}{3}}

Hence, the equation has two irrational solutions.
