2n+1, 2n+3 - consecutive odd integers

(2n+1)(2n+3)=3(2n+1+2n+3)+6\\
4n^2+6n+2n+3=3(4n+4)+6\\
4n^2+8n+3=12n+12+6\\
4n^2-4n+15=0\\
\Delta=(-4)^2-4\cdot4\cdot15=16-240=-224\\

\Delta

It's not possible.

I don't think it is.

If the first integer is 'x', then the second one is (x+2).
Their product is (x²+2x), and their sum is (2x+2).

You have said that  (x²+2x) = 3(2x+2) + 6

                                 x²+2x = 6x + 6 + 6

                                 <u>x² - 4x - 12 = 0</u>

                                (x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

                             x = 6    and    x = -2

The numbers are  ('6' and '8'), or ('-2' and 0).

I honestly don't know what to make of the second pair.
But the first pair satisfies the description:

              The product (48) = 3 x the sum (3 x 14 = 42) plus 6.

So '6' and '8' completely work, except that they're not <u>odd</u> integers.

A man walks 10 km, then travels a certain distance by train and then by bus as far as twice by the train. If the whole journey i
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The man traveled 20km by train.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the distance he traveled by train, you can write this equation to represent the situation:

10+x+2x=70

Then, you can simply solve for x:

10+3x=70\\3x=60\\x=20

The man traveled 20km by train.

10+(20)+2(20)=70\\10+20+40=70\\70=70
