The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?

1 answer:

4 0

The correct option is B): "Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer."
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."

Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2. So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.

Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2' thus x + (x+2) = 28

therefore, x + x + 2 = 28 now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore, 2x = 26 now dividing throughout by 2 we get:

x = 13 therefore, x + 2 = 13+2
= 15

therefore, the numbers are 13 AND 15

Charlotte spent 1/2 of the day shopping at all. She spent 1/4 of this time trying on jeans. What fraction of the day did Charlot

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Charlotte spend $\frac{1}{8}$ of day trying on jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlotte spent part of day on shopping = $\frac{1}{2}$

She spent part of shopping time on trying jeans = $\frac{1}{4}$

We are supposed to find What fraction of the day did Charlotte spend trying on jeans.

She spent fraction of the day in trying jeans = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}$

She spent fraction of the day in trying jeans = $\frac{1}{8}$

Hence Charlotte spend $\frac{1}{8}$ of day trying on jeans

How do i evaluate (7 to the power of 2)to the power of 3)=7 to the power of 5

kakasveta [241]

Step-by-step explanation:

$(7^2)^3=7^5\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\text{because}\\\\7^2=7\cdot7\\\\(7^2)^3=(7\cdot7)^3=(7\cdot7)\cdot(7\cdot7)\cdot(7\cdot7)=\underbrace{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}_6=7^6\\\\\text{or use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(7^2)^3=7^{2\cdot3}=7^6$

What methods could you use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of (-20, 0)

Ronch [10]

The coordinates (abscissa and ordinates) of the midpoint of the line segment is the average of the abscissas and the ordinates, respectively. Therefore, the x - coordinate of the midpoint is equal to -20 + 20 or 0 by 2 which is zero. The answer is letter E.

If every pair of consecutive angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral must be a parallelogram.

Luda [366]

Answer: true.

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has two sets of opposite sides that are congruent. If you follow the picture attacheed, you see that AD equals BC and AB equals DC.
There is a theorem that says that If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, it has consecutive angles that are supplementary. Suplementary means that, those 2 angles together, form 180º.
