Find two consecutive odd integers such that 53 more than the lesser is four times the greater

1 answer:

4 0

Let x and x+2 the 2 odd consecutive numbers. Now translate from English language to Math's:
x+53 = 4(x + 2), Expand :
x+53 = 4x + 8
53 - 8 = 4x - x

45 = 3x and x = 15. So the 1st is 15 and the 2nd is 17

How do you solve this problem<br> (2x+8)2=64

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If (2x+8)2 = 64, then I would solve it by making sure the numbers in the parentheses equal 32. This is because it would get multiplied by 2 after you find the answer and 32 x 2 is 64. So what times 2 is 24? 12. 12 x 2 is 24, plus 8 is 32, and multiply 32 by 2 and you get 64 :) I'm not the best at explaining btw ;-;
