Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Step-by-step explanation:
17+7x=x+5
6x=-12
x=-2

Answer:
4b² - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the area of a parallelogram equals 
, where b = base and h - height. We're given the base as 2b + 4 and the height as 2b - 4.
Therefore, the answer is 4b² - 16.
Answer: x = 18.439
Step-by-step explanation:
x³-x = 340
x² = 340
x = √340 = 18.439
