Let the positive odd numbers be x,x+2,x+4.
According to the question,
5(3x+30)=72+x^2+4x
x^2-13x+42=0
(x-6) and (x-7)=0
x=6 or x=7

Answer:

x ≈ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent , both 2x - 4 , then

x + 2x - 4 + 2x - 4 = 24 , that is

5x - 8 = 24 ( add 8 to both sides )

5x = 32 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6.4 ≈ 6 ( to the nearest whole number )

use pythagoras:

${c}^{2} = \: {b}^{2} - {a}^{2}$

c^2 = (27)^2 - (13)^2

Answer:

D. 18.68

Step-by-step explanation:

$27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+53\times (\frac{2}{5})^2$

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.

Solving the exponents first $[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]$

$=27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+53\times \frac{4}{25}$

Multiplying $[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]$

$=27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+8.48$

Dividing $[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]$

$=16.2-6+8.48$

Adding and subtracting.

$=18.68$
