Two consecutive odd numbers total -20 find the smaller

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

use an equation to solve this

consecutive means in succession, one after the other

since they're odd, both numbers have to be odd

let x be the first number

x+x+2=-20

+2 because if you only +1, one of the numbers would be even

2x+2=-20

-2. -2

2x=-22

x=-11

the smaller would be -9 since we are adding x and x+2 together

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Swimming one time around the pool is 56.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Swimming 18 ft from one side of her circular pool to the other, swimming straight through the center means the circular swimming pool has a diameter of d=18 ft.

The circumference of the circle is calculated using:

c = \pi \: d

where d=18 is the diameter and π=3.14 as given.

We substitute the values to get:

c = 3.14 \times 18

c = 56.52

We approximate to the nearest tenth to get:

c = 56.5ft

Answer:

D) y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on the graph: (0, 4) and (8, 0)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(0 - 4)/(8-0)

m= -4/8

m = -1/2

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -1/2(x - 0)

y - 4 = -1/2x

y = -1/2x + 4

What is the slope of the line that passes through the point (-9,8) and (-3-1)?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (-9 ,8)   and (x₂ , y₂) = (-3 , -1)

Slope = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\dfrac{-1-8}{-3-[-9]}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{-3+9}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{-3}{2}

Greeley [361]
To get from 8.4 to 10 in multiplication, we need to multiply 8.4 by 10/8.4

That means that if we multiply 30 by 10/8.4 we get the answer
which is 35,714

The same with the other
8.4 times 100/30 = 28
