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.

Find y.<br> Help me please thanks
valina [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

First draw FH

<FOH and <FGH share the end points of the chord FH

<FOH is a central angle.

<FGH touches the circumference of the circle in the on the same side of the point of angle <FOH is closest to

Therefore <FGH  is 1/2 <FOH. That is always true of central angles and the smaller angle touching the circumference that <FOH points to

Conclusion

<FGH = 1/2 < FOH

58 = 1/2 <FOH

Therefore <FOH = 2 * 58 = 116

y = < FOH

Answer

y = 116

Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of s
irakobra [83]

Answer:

5 1/3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley prepares 1 bag in 2/3 minutes.

One friend takes 2/3 + 3/4 * 2/3 = 7/6 minutes to make 1 bag.

4 of her friends can make 1 bag in 7/6 * 1/4 = 7/24 minutes.

If it takes x minutes for  Ashley and 4 friends to make one bag then we have:

1 / 2/3  + 1 / 7/24 = 1 / x

3/2 + 24/7 = 1/x

Multiply through by 14x:

21x + 48x = 14

x = 14/69 minutes.

So the  time to make 1575 bags = 1575 * 14/69

=  320 minutes.
