Let x be the 1st odd number, and x+2 the second odd consecutive number:

(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
x² + 2x = 6(2x + 2) - 1

x² + 2x = 12x +12 - 1
And x² - 10x - 11=0

Solve this quadratic expression:

x' = [+10 +√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2  and x" = [+10 -√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2

x' = [10 + √144]/2      and  x" = [10 - √64]/2

x' = (10+12)/2    and x" = (10-12)/2

x = 11 and x = -1

We have 2 solutions that satisfy the problem:

1st for x = 11, the numbers at 11 and 13
2nd for x = - 1 , the numbers are -1 and +1
If you plug each one in the original equation :(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
you will find that both generates an equlity

x^2-12x=-36\ \ \ |add\ 36\ to\ both\ sides\\\\x^2-12x+36=0\\\\x^2-2x\cdot6+6^2=0\ \ |use\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-6)^2=0\iff x-6=0\ \ \ |add\ 6\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{x=6}

Describe the steps you can use to find an average of fractional amounts.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Add up the fractional amounts and divide them by however many amounts there are..........

eg.

Step 1:Add the fractions
1/6 + 5/8 +3/4 
(find the LCD)
1/6 + 5/8 + 3/4 = 4/24 + 15/24 + 18/24 = 37/24

Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the set
37/24 ÷ 3= 37/24 ÷ 3/1= 37/24 X 1/3= 37/72

<span>So the mean (average) is 37/72</span>
