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! ♡

seraphim [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of segment AB.

Then the length of segment BC is (2x - 4).

The length of segment AC is x.

We know that x + (2x - 4) + x = 52.

Therefore 4x - 4 = 52, 4x = 56, x = 14.

Hence the length of segment AB is 14.

Answer: 0.03 and 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

3.0 would turn into 3.

3 divided by 100 is 0.03.

20 divided by 50 is 0.4

So, I think that it would be either 0.03 or 0.4

To solve the food one you need to first multiply the pounds of peaches by the amount per pound (1.75 * 18.4) then when you have the total of that, add 2.89 for the price of the pineapple. Once that is complete you should have a total amount for all of the food, next you just divide that number by 4 and you'll have the amount of money each person paid.


As for the other question, to solve it all you need to do is add the total amount of pounds of trash team A has collected for both week 1, 2 and 3, then multiply it by 3 and you'll have your answer.
