Which of the following can NOT be the product of two consecutive odd numbers?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is B.

Here is how I got that.
To create the product of two consecutive odd integers, the equation is:
(2n+1)×(2n+3)

That equation has to equal 468737.

When figuring out the equation I found that when the equation used answer B, the integers were even. So 468737 is the product of two even integers. That does not match the criteria (of two odd integers) so it does not work.

Sheila bought burgers and fries for her children and some friends. the burgers cost $2.05 each and the fries are $.85 each. she

Let's have B stand for burgers, and F stand for fries.
2.05B+0.85F=$19.10 - This equation is set equal to total price.
B+F=14 - This equation is set equal to total number of items.
Subtract the F in the bottom equation.
B=14-F
Put this in place of B in the first equation.
2.05(14-F)+0.85F=19.10
Make sure you distribute the 2.05 properly, over both the 14 and the F.
28.7 - 2.05F+0.85F=19.10
Collect like terms for the F values.
28.7 - 1.2F=19.10
Subtract 28.7 from both sides.
-1.2F=-9.6
Divide by -1.2 on both sides.
F=8
Put this value in place of F in either equation.
B+8=14
B=6
So F=8 and B=6.
