Let's put this in terms of a system of equations. Let's call the numbers x and y, with x being the larger integer and y the smaller one. Since they are consecutive odd integers, we know that:
x = y + 2
The constraint is:
xy= 3(x+y) + 71         Simplify
xy = 3x + 3y + 71       Plug in (y+2) for x:
(y + 2) y = 3(y + 2) + 3y + 71         Simplify
y² + 2y = 3y + 6 + 3y + 71              Subtract 6y from  both sides, add 71+6
y² -4y = 77
y² - 4y - 77 = 0
Factor:
(y - 11) (y+7) = 0
y = 11 or y=-7

When y = 11, x = 13, since x = y+2
Plug in to make sure:
xy = 3(x+y) + 71
11*13 = 3 (11 + 13) + 71
143 = 3 (24) + 71
143 = 72 + 71
143 = 143               
Our values work! 
Answer: 11, 13

Solve. Check your solution.<br> -4+s= -68
Andrews [41]
-64 + -4 = -68

That is because 64 + 4 = 68 and the negatives in this case are the same way as if it was all positive.

Answer:

The area of sector AOB is 75.36 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Circle O with minor arc AB=60 degrees and OA =12.

We need to find the area of sector.

Area of the sector: A=\frac{\theta }{360} \times \pi r^2

Substitute \theta=60 and r =12 in above formula.

A=\frac{60}{360} \times 3.14\times (12)^2

=\frac{1}{6} \times 3.14\times 144

=24\times 3.14

=75.36

Hence, the area of sector AOB is 75.36 unit²

Jim spent $46.16 on some mulch and one shovel. Each bag of mulch costs $3.49 and the shovel cost $14.75. How many bags of mulch
mezya [45]
To find the amount he spent on bags of mulch you must take the cost of the shovel away from the total, giving the equation:
46.16-14.75=3.49x
To covert this to whole numbers, multiply by 100
4616-1475=349x
3141=349x
x=9
