<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

Step-by-step explanation:

cos = adj/hyp

cos76 = adj/24

multiply both sides by 24

24 * cos76 = adj

Jimmy's backyard is rectangle that is 18 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide Jim buy sod in pieces that are 1 1/3 yard long and

g100num [7]

Answer:

111 pieces of soda

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangular backyard

The area of the rectangular backyard is equal to

$A=LW$

where

$L=18\frac{5}{6}\ yd=\frac{18*6+5}{6}=\frac{113}{6}\ yd$

$W=10\frac{2}{5}\ yd=\frac{10*5+2}{5}=\frac{52}{5}\ yd$

substitute

$A=(\frac{113}{6})(\frac{52}{5})$

$A=\frac{5,876}{30}\ yd^2$

step 2

Find the area of one piece of sod

The area of the rectangular piece of sod is

$A=LW$

where

$L=1\frac{1}{3}\ yd=\frac{1*3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\ yd$

$W=1\frac{1}{3}\ yd=\frac{1*3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\ yd$

substitute

$A=(\frac{4}{3})^2\\\\A=\frac{16}{9}\ yd^2$

step 3

Find the pieces of sod needed

To find out how many whole pieces of sod will Jim need to buy to cover his backyard, divide the area of the backyard by the area of one piece of soda

$\frac{5,876}{30} : \frac{16}{9}=\frac{52,884}{480}=110.175$

Round up

111 pieces of soda
