Consecutive odd integers are 2 apart
they are x and x+2
the product (x times (x+2)) is 1 less than  4 times their sum

x(x+2)=-1+4(x+x+2)
x^2+2x=-1+4(2x+2)
x^2+2x=-1+8x+8
x^2+2x=8x+7 minus (8x+7) from both sides [tex]x^2-6x-7=0
factor
what  numbers multliply to get -7 and add to get -6?
-7 and 1
(x-7)(x+1)=0
set equal to 0
x-7=0
x=7

x+1=0
x=-1

so the x can be 7 or -1
the other number (x+2) can be 7 or 1

test each

7 and 9
7(9)=-1+4(7+9)
63=-1+4(16)
63=-1+64
63=63
true


-1 and 1
-1(1)=-1+4(-1+1)
-1=-1+4(0)
-1=-1+0
-1=-1
true



the 2 integers can be 7 and 9 or -1 and 1 (both pairs of numbers work)

Answer:

  D  (7, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations must be interpreted to be ...

  • y = -1/2x +4
  • y = 1/2x -3

A graph shows the solution to be (7, 0.5), matching selection D.

___

You can add the two equations together to get ...

  (y) +(y) = (-1/2x +4) + (1/2x -3)

  2y = 1 . . . . . simplify

  y = 1/2 . . . . .divide by 2

It can be convenient to use the second equation to find x.

  1/2 = 1/2x - 3

  1 = x - 6 . . . . . . multiply by 2

  7 = x . . . . . . . . . add 6

The solution is (x, y) = (7, 0.5). . . . . matches selection D.

I'm really bad at geometry. Please help

The sides of the frame are (12+2x) and (6+2x).
Its area A is 112.

Therefore by equating:
(12+2x)*(6+2x)=112
you can get the answer for x. You will obtain a quadratic equation you have to solve.
