Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 32. Find the integers.

1 answer:

6 0

Let
x = first consecutive odd
x + 2 = second consecutive odd

Based on the problem, we equate
x + (x + 2) = 32
Solving for x,
2x + 2 = 32
2x = 32 - 2
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.

Five less than twice what negative number squared is 157?

fenix001 [56]

Five less than twice what negative number squared is 157 <- put into an expression
-5 + 2(-x^2) = 157
Now simplify:
-5 + -2x^2 = 157
-2x^2 = 162
-2x^2 - 162 = 0
2x^2 + 162 = 0
x^2 + 81 = 0
