Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.
Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.
Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442
or x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0
Solve by completing the square:
x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0
(x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0
Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
x = 33
The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.
Check: (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).
Answer: $2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Zeke's helmet cost 3/5 x 28.75 = 17.25
Change = 20 - 17.25 = 2.75
Try this option (see the attachment), if it is possible check result in other sources.
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
