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.

gavmur [86]

Answer: 4.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that New York City is approximately 205 miles from Washington, D.C.

The distance that these cities will appear on a map with the scale 1 in: 50 miles will be represented by x.

Therefore, x:205 = 1:50

Cross multiply

x/205 = 1/50

50x = 205

x = 205/50

x = 4.1 inches

The answer is 4.1 inches
