<h3>Answer:  17 and 19</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = some integer

2x = even integer

2x+1 = odd integer

(2x+1)+2 = 2x+3 = odd integer just after 2x+1

The integers 2x+1 and 2x+3 add to 36

(2x+1)+(2x+3) = 36

2x+2x+1+3 = 36

4x+4 = 36

4x+4-4 = 36-4 ... subtract 4 from both sides

4x = 32

4x/4 = 32/4 .... divide both sides by 4

x = 8

With x = 8, we can say

2x+1 = 2*8+1 = 17 is the first odd integer

2x+3 = 2*8+3 = 19 is the next odd integer

17+19 = 36, so the answer is confirmed

--------------------

A non-algebraic way to get the answer is to divide 36 in half to get 18

Then try odd integers around 18, so 19+21 = 40 but thats too high

then maybe try 15+17 = 32, thats too low

17+19 = 36 is right on the money

There were 436 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game. The general admission tickets cost ​$6.50 and the upper reser
Nataly [62]

Answer:

How many general admission tickets were​ purchased? __<u>136</u>__

How many upper reserved tickets we purchased? _<u>300</u>_

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of general tickets = g.

Let the number of reserved tickets = r.

6.5g + 8r = 3284

g + r = 436

     6.5g + 8r = 3284

(+)   -8g + -8r = -3488

--------------------------------

     -1.5g         = -204

g = 136

g + r = 436

136 + r = 436

r = 300

Answer:

How many general admission tickets were​ purchased? __<u>136</u>__

How many upper reserved tickets we purchased? _<u>300</u>_

AveGali [126]

Answer:

FD≈25.94.. rounded = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

FD²=12²+(4x+11)²

FD²=144+16x²+88x+121

FD²=265+16x²+88x

also

FD²=12²+(13x-16)²

FD²=144+169x²-416x+256

FD²=400+169x²-416x

thus

265+16x²+88x = 400+169x²-416x

16x²-169x²+88x+416x+265-400 = 0

-153x²+504x-135 = 0

we will solve this quadratic equation by suing the quadratic formula to find x

x=(-504±sqrt(504²-4(-153)(-135)))/2(-153)

x=(-504±\sqrt{504^{2}-4(-153)(-135) })/2(-153)

x=(-504±\sqrt{254016-82620 })/-306

x=(-504±\sqrt{171396})/-306

x=(-504±414)/-306

x=(-504+414)/-306 and x=(-504-414)/-306

x=-90/-306 and x=-918/-306

x= 5/17 , 3

substituting x by the roots we found

check for 5/17:

4x+11 = 4×(5/17)+11 = (20/17)+11 = (20+187)/17 = 207/17 ≈ 12.17..

13x-16 = 13×(5/17)-16 = (65/17)-16 = (65-272)/17 = -207/17 ≈ -12.17..

check for 3:

4x+11 = 4×3+11 = 12+11 = 23

13x-16 = 13×3-16 = 23

thus 3 is the right root

therfore

ED=23 and CD=23

FD²=FE²+ED² or FD²=FC²+CD²

FD²=12²+23²

FD²=144+529

FD²=673

FD=√673

FD≈25.94.. rounded = 26

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

201.5=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{201.5 } \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.
