Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.
Expanding, you get:
And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.
Solving by factoring:
This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
K= 8. If you look at the pattern each x value is multiplied by 8 to give you the y value. You could also solve it by:
40=k5
40/5=k
8=k
you could do this with any of the x or y values and still end up with 8.
Answer:
I think its 183.750
Step-by-step explanation:
(700 multiplied by 525) divided by 2 equals 183.750
