4/8 equals 1/2 the rest are 1/2 but 12/36 is 1/3
301 minus 200? If so, that is 101
Since each odd (or even) is two greater than the previous number, two consecutive such numbers are n and n+2.
The we are told that the sum of two such number is 100, so we can say:
n+n+2=100 combining like terms on the left side you get:
2n+2=100
....
to solve, if you were interested...subtract 2 from both sides
2n=98 divide both sides by 2
n=49
So the two odd numbers are 49 and 51
Answer:
x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(41)/2 thus 2 is the Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^2 - 5 x - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 5 x = 4
Add 25/4 to both sides:
x^2 - 5 x + 25/4 = 41/4
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 5/2)^2 = 41/4
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 5/2 = sqrt(41)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(41)/2
Add 5/2 to both sides:
x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(41)/2
Add 5/2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(41)/2
