<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

“Ms. Blanco drove her car at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for 1 1/2 hours, then at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for 2
lara31 [8.8K]
I’m pretty sure it’s 370 bc
1 and a half hours is 80+40 (40 is half of 80)
and 2 and a half hours, so 100 for each hour.
100+100+50= 250

250+120=370!!

answer : 370 kilometers per hour

5/x - 3/4 =<br> Simplify
Verdich [7]

Answer:

\frac{20-3x}{4x}

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an LCM problem.

-To simplify, we introduce a least common multiplier which is equivalent the product of the denominators:

LCM=x\times 4\\\\=4x

#We introduce the LCM and adjust the fractions based on it :

=\frac{5}{x}+\frac{3}{4}\\\\\\=\frac{20}{4x}+\frac{3x}{4x}\\\\\\=\frac{20-3x}{4x}

Hence, the simplified form of the fraction is: \frac{20-3x}{4x}
