Answer:
5/2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is 25/4 squared inches, we could set this as an equation:
Now, since 25 and 4 is a perfect square, we could do this:
(distribute the square exponent to both 5 and 2 to get the original)
And since the exponent is the same, we can clearly tell x is 5/2 (or square root it)
Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.
Expanding, you get:
And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.
Solving by factoring:
This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
