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

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y – 8 = (x – 4)? f(x) = x + 4 f(x) = x + 6 f(x) = x
andrew11 [14]
It is understood without being written that the slope of this line is 1.  If we rewrite the point-slope form of the line it would be y-8=1(x-4) where 1 is the slope.  We move the -8 over by addition to get y = 1x-4+8, or, simplified, y=x+4, the first choice in your answers.
