The first odd number = 15

The second is then = 17

<h3>The Consecutive numbers are:</h3>

Consecutive numbers are those that appear consecutively after one another in the range of smallest to largest. An illustration would be the sequence of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

<h3>Where can I find consecutive numbers?</h3>

Let x be the first of the following numbers to represent it algebraically. Following that, the numbers x + 1, x + 2, and x + 3 would be arranged in order. You must make sure that your first selection is an even number if the question requires consecutive even numbers.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

We can employ the expression "2n," where n is any integer, to ensure that the result is even. By using the expression "2n + 1," we can ensure an odd number.

"2n + 3" will be the following odd number:

(2n + 1)(2n + 3) is the component of the odd integers, and it equals 255:

(2n + 1)(2n + 3) = 255

4n2 + 8n + 3 = 255

4n2 + 8n - 252 = 0

n2 + 2n - 63 = 0

(n + 9)(n -7) = 0

n = -9 and n = 7

We can disregard n = -9 because we are informed that the figures must be positive.

If n = 7,

The first odd number = 2(7) + 1 = 15

The second is then 17

A company wants to increase the 10% peroxide content of its product by adding pure peroxide (100% peroxide). If x liters of pure
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

There should be 125 litters of pure peroxide added to produce a new product that is 28% peroxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem provides us with an equation we can use to find the concentration C of the new mixture, which is:

C=\frac{x+0.1(500)}{x+500}

which will give us the concentration C as a decimal number.

We are interested in getting a concentration of 28%, which is written as 0.28 in decimal form. This is our C.

Now we can substitute it into the equation:

0.28=\frac{x+0.1(500)}{x+500}

and now we can solve for x. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by (x+500) so we get:

0.28(x+500)=x+0.1(500)

Next, we can distribute dhe 0.28 on the left of the equation and we can also multiply the 0.1(500) on the right side, so we get:

0.28x+140=x+50

so now we can subtract an x from both sides so we get:

0.28-x+140=x-x+50

which yields:

-0.72x+140=50

Now, we can subtract a 140 from both sides, so we get:

-0.72x+140-140=50-140

Which yields:

-0.72x=-90

and finally we can divide both sides into -0.72 so we get:

\frac{-0.72x}{-0.72}=\frac{-90}{-0.72}

x=125lt

So we need to add 125 litters of pure peroxide to produce a new product that is 28% peroxide.
