Answer:
x = 38
∠P = 26º
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angle in a triangle is 180
x + (x + 78) + (x - 12) = 180
Combine like terms
3x + 66 = 180
Subtract 66 from both sides
3x = 114
Divide both sides by 3
x = 38
-----------------------
∠P = x - 12
∠P = 38 - 12
∠P = 26º
Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
