<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

What is the value of X? Make sure to show all of your work!
Rzqust [24]
Since this is a equilateral triangle all angles are equal to each other. All angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

So you would set up your equation like so
3(7x - 3) = 180
The 3 outside the parenthesis resembles the 3 angles.
You equal the equation to 180 since all the angles in a triangle = 180
So distribute the 3
21x - 9 = 180
Add 9 to both sides
21x = 189
Divide 21 on both sides
x = 9

All I know it’s not D and i’m super confused and I just want to go to bed
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before graphing this equation we first need to isolate y on one side like so...

y + 2 = 3(x+1)   ... distribute the 3 to both values inside the parenthesis

y + 2 = 3x + 3   ... subtract 2 on both sides

y = 3x + 1

Now that we have the y variable isolated we see that the slope of the function is 3, meaning that for every 1 unit right the line needs to move 3 units up. We also have the value where the line needs to cross the y-axis and that is 1. Using this information we see that the correct graph is C.

167÷2=83.5 how to solve
gavmur [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

162/2 (the same as 162÷2) =83.5

83.5+83.5=162

^

that was two times to add so we know for sure that 162/2=83.5. Theres no special way to solve it since its just dived by <em>two</em>. Its just 162÷2=83.5

Hope this helps.
