Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 73.

Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?


2x = 73
2x + 1 = 73
2x + 2 = 73
x2 + 1= 73

Answer 1

Tow consecutive integers can be represented by x and x+1.

So write an equation.

Answer 2

2x+2=73

Answer 3

2x+2=73 @Easyaspi314

Answer 4

Why 2x+2? The sum of x and x+1 = x+ x+1 = 2x + 1.

Answer 5

@Cweezie23

Why 2x + 2? What is the sum of x and x+1?

Answer 6

@Cweezie23

Well?

Answer 7

idk this is extra credit we havent learned yet so im tryin to raise my grade

Answer 8

so whats the answer @Easyaspi314

Answer 9

please

Answer 10

x + (x+1) = 2x + 1

When you add x to x, you get 2x.

so you have 2x + 1 = 73.

Answer 11

Choose the correct mathematical translation for the given statement.

The luggage can weigh no more than 70 pounds.


x < 70
x ≤ 70
x > 70
x ≥ 70

Answer 12

Two consecutive integers are integers one after another, like 23 and 24, or 567 and 568

So sisnce we do not know what these integers are, we cann the fitrst one x, and the second one which is 1 more than thr first one, we call it x+1.

so we want the sum of the two integers to be 73.

SUM = add the two numbers

so, x + (x+1) = 73
2x + 1 = 73

Answer 13

You're welcome.

Answer 14

2x+1=73
