Twice the greater of two consecutive odd intergers is 13 less than three times the lesser. Find the intergers ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\large\boxed{15, 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

2 consecutive integers represented as variables:

x, x + 1

Greater one: x + 1

Lesser one: x

Write as an equation

2(Greater) + 13 = 3(Lesser)

Substitute in known values

2(x + 1) + 13 = 3(x)

Multiply

2x + 2 + 13 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2 + 13 = x

Add 2 + 13 to simplify

x = 15

Lesser = x = 15

Greater = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

\large\boxed{15, 16}

Hope this helps :)

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Step 4 is where she made the error.

Step-by-step explanation:

This step is actually known as the commutative property. That property states that we can change the order of numbers as long as we keep the signs and it maintains it's validity.

The hawk population in a county is declining at a rate of 1.4% per year. the population was 3800 in the year 2016. which answer
Anika [276]

After a year the population will be 98.6% (100% - 1.4%) 98.6% as a decimal is 0.986 ... so after 1 year it will be: <span>

3800 x 0.986 

after 2 years it will be: 

3800 x 0.986 x 0.986... 

after 3 years: 3800 x (0.986)^3 

<span>in 2018. And after 4 years it will be 3800 x (0.986)^4 = which is 3591.62724 or 3592</span></span>

Which step in the construction of copying a line segment ensures that the new line segment has the same length as the original l
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Now out of these points, i guess steps 5 and 6 are the main steps that ensure that the copied line segment is exactly the same as the original segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps I think you probably will go through.

1. Draw a line that is longer than the segment but shorter than the width of the page.

1a. Make sure this line is  at least 1/2 inch from the left hand side.  

2. Use a compass to measure the length of the original segment. Never use a ruler. Rulers do not exist in pure geometry.

3. Measure out the distance on the line you just drew with the compass. One end is on the left hand edge and the other end (the pencil end) is marking the segment so it is the same length as the compass. You are done.

The key step either two or three.The steps to copy a line segment are given below:

1. Lets start with a line segment AB that we have to copy.

2. Now mark a point C. below or above AB, that will be one endpoint of the new line segment.

3. Now, put the compass tip on point A of the line segment AB.

4. Spread the compass up to point B, so as the compass width is equal to length of AB.

5. Without changing the compass width, now place the compass tip on the point C that you made in step 2.

6. Now, draw an arc roughly without changing the compass settings. Mark that point D. This will form the new line segment.

7. Draw a line from C to D.

Now out of these points, i guess steps 5 and 6 are the main steps that ensure that the copied line segment is exactly the same as the original segment.
