Hi Gary!

So, let's say that a reciprocal number is 1 divided by a number q. So, the reciprocal of q for example is \frac{1}{q}

Now, it asks us to find also a consecutive even number.

A consecutive number is the number next to another one. Theorically this means the consecutive of q is q+1, since you add 1 to find the number next to q but.....it asks for an 'even' number and even numbers are for example 2,4,6,8 ecc., they add always 2.

So our consecutive even number would be q+2

Of course you find the reciprocal the 1 / q+2

So, let's set up the equation

\frac{1}{q} +  \frac{1}{q+2} =  \frac{7}{24}

Let's solve the equation by first finding the common denominator

\frac{24(q+2)+24q}{24q(q+2)}=  \frac{7q(q+2)}{24q(q+2)}

24q ≠ 0 -> q ≠ 0 and q+2 ≠ 0 -> q ≠ -2

24q + 48 + 24q = 7q^2 + 14q

-7q^2 - 14q + 24q + 24q + 48 = 0

-7q^2 + 34x + 48 = 0

7q^2 - 34x - 48 = 0

You can factor it.

(7x+8)(x-6) = 0

7x + 8 = 0 -> 7x = -8 -> x = -8/7
x - 6 = 0 -> x = 6

We choose the positive solution.

So one number is 6, then we find the even consecutive -> 6+2 = 8

Numbers are 6 and 8

<u>Quadrilaterals</u> are <em>plane shapes</em> that are <u>bounded</u> by four <u>straight</u> sides. Thus, the required answers to the questions are:

46. True. Other examples include kites, rhombus, etc.

47. False.

46. When a <em>plane shape</em> is <u>bounded</u> by four <u>straight</u> sides of equal or different lengths, it is called a  <u>quadrilateral</u>. Examples include trapezium, kite, rhombus, rectangle, square, etc. Each of these examples has individual <u>properties</u>.

Thus the required answer to question 46 is; <u>True</u>. It can be observed that with respect to their <em>individual properties</em>, other <u>quadrilaterals</u> which have a pair of <em>opposite angles</em> to be <u>equal</u> include: kite, rectangle, rhombus, etc.

47. A <em>ray segment</em> is a given <u>line</u> that <u>points</u> or <u>heads</u> in a specific direction. So that the direction in which the ray moves is very<em> important</em>.

Thus in the given question, the <u>required</u> answer is; False. This is because the<u> two</u> given rays are moving in opposite directions. Though the two rays may have the <u>same</u> length of the <u>segment</u>.
