Step-by-step explanation:
two consecutive numbers means that one is larger by 1 than the other number.
so, we have to choices depending on whether the first number (multiplied by 3) is the larger one, or the second number.
to show what I mean, let's start with the second number being the larger one.
we are dealing therefore with x and (x+1).
3x + (x+1) - 2 = 144
4x - 1 = 144
4x = 145
x = 145/4
this is not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).
so, it is actually not a valid solution.
therefore we are checking the other approach :
we are dealing therefore still with x and (x+1). but now we multiply the other number by 3.
3(x+1) + x - 2 = 144
4x + 1 = 144
4x = 143
x = 143/4
this is still not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).
so, it is actually not a valid solution either.
and now I am beginning to think you left out some important information in the question.
could it be these 2 numbers are consecutive even or consecutive uneven numbers ?
because then the difference between the both of them is 2 and not 1.
we are dealing therefore with x and (x+2). first attempt to make the smaller number the "first" number :
3x + (x+2) - 2 = 144
4x = 144
x = 144/4 = 36
ah ! now that looks different !
36 and 38 are valid solutions under the changed assumptions. and we are dealing with consecutive even numbers.
let's check :
36×3 + 38 - 2 = 36×3 + 36 = 36×4 = 144
correct.
and fun fact, if we turn this around and make the larger number the "first" number, we are still dealing with x and (x+2), but now we multiply the larger number by 3 :
3(x+2) + x - 2 = 144
4x + 6 - 2 = 144
4x + 4 = 144
4x = 140
x = 140/4 = 35
35 and 37 are also valid solutions under the new assumptions and two consecutive uneven numbers ...
so, please check what your original question (and maybe the headlines and description around it) says. and then pick the right solution.
plz help!:> also your so awesome, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Write an equation for the n term of the arithmetic sequence -1, 4, 9, 14, . Then find a50
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the question
a = - 1
To find the common difference subtract the previous term from the next term
We have
d = 4 --1 = 4 + 1 = 5 or 9 - 4 = 5
Therefore d = 5
Substitute the values into the general formula
That's
[tex]A(n) = - 1 + (n - 1)(5) \\ = - 1 + 5n - 5 \\ = 5n - 6 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex]
To find A(50) substitute the value of n that's 50 into the formula above
[tex]A(50) = 5(50) - 6 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 250 - 6 \\ \: = 244[/tex]
Hope this helps you
Step-by-step explanation:

d = 4 --1 = 4 + 1 = 5 or 9 - 4 = 5Therefore d = 5

That's
[tex]A(n)=−1+(n−1)(5) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =−1+5n−5 \\ =5n−6[/tex]
To find A(50) substitute the value of n that's 50 into the formula above

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all
fractions.
8x + 6y = -54
Answer:
y = - 4/3x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
[tex]y = -\frac{4}{3}x - 9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of linear equation is: Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers; A and B ≠ 0, and A is a non-negative integer.
Given the linear equation in standard form, 8x + 6y = -54, we can transform this equation into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.
First, subtract 8x from both sides:
8x + 6y = - 54
8x - 8x + 6y = - 8x - 54
6y = -8x - 54
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate y:
[tex]\frac{6y}{6} = \frac{-8x - 54}{6}[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{4}{3}x - 9[/tex] ⇒ This is the slope-intercept form where the slope, m = [tex]- \frac{4}{3}[/tex], and the y-intercept, b = -9.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ASAP!
Step-by-step explanation:
the same factor of one dimension or one line applies then for all dimensions or lines.
the length goes from 16 to 32 cm. that means it doubles.
so, we need to double also the width :
10.5 × 2 = 21 cm
therefore, the first answer option is correct.
need help knowing if I got it right
Answer:
yeppp i got the same answer
Step-by-step explanation:
please help asap…………
Step-by-step explanation:
the most common form of line equation is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line. it is expressed as the ratio
y coordinate change / x coordinate change
when going from one point to the other.
b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).
so, in our case, the slope is 2, the y-intercept is -3.
the y-intercept gives you the first point : (0, -3)
using the slope of 2 we know that for every unit x increases, y increases by 2.
so, you can pick a next point e.g. x = 2, which makes y = -3 + 2×2 = -3 + 4 = 1
that gives us (2, 1)
mark both points on the chart and then draw a straight line through both points.

y=-2x + 7
y = 5х – 7
Find the solution
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
y = -2x + 7 y = 5х – 7If y = -2x + 7 and y = 5х – 7, then -2x + 7 = 5х – 7. Now, let's solve.
=> -2x + 7 = 5х – 7
=> 7x = 14
=> x = 2
Since we found 'x', let's find 'y' with the given clue using one equation among any of the two equations.
=> y = 5х – 7
=> y = 5(2) - 7
=> y = 10 - 7
=> y = 3
Hoped this helped.

4. Find a polynomial function of degree 3 with the given zeros. Write your answer in the form:
Ax) = ax + bx² + cx+d
x= -2, x=-1, x=2
Answer:
I'm assuming the equation "Ax) = ax + bx² + cx+d" is really meant to read:
A(x) = ax^3 + bx² + cx+d
A(x) = x^3 + x^2 -4x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+2)*(x+1)*(x-2) [This reflect the fact that x= -2, x=-1, x=2 all result in a zero]
Multiply this out to get A(x) = x^3 + x^2 -4x -4
