Answer:
x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3) - 5 =
(x - 1)
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1
6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )
5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = -
Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.
Expanding, you get:
And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.
Solving by factoring:
This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
