<span>the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 69. Find the integers.
-------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
---------------------
Equation:</span>2x-1 + 2x+1 + 2x+3 = 69<span>
</span><span>6x + 3 = 69
2x + 1 = 23
-----------------
So 2x-1 = 21
And 2x+3 = 25

</span><span>let:
x be the first odd integer
x + 2 be the 2nd odd integer
x + 4 be the 3rd odd integer
solution:
1st odd integer + 2nd odd integer + 3rd odd integer = 69
x + (x+2) + (x+4)= 69
</span>
<span>3x + 6 = 69
3x = 69 - 6
3x = 63 (dividing both sides by three)
x = 21
_______________________________________
x=21
x+2=23
x+4=25
therefore, the 1st integer is 21, the 2nd is 23 and the 3rd is 25..</span>

The length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and one. The area direct angle 72 units. What’s the length, in units, of the r

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is of 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

Area of a rectangle:

A rectangle has width $w$ and length $l$ . The area is the multiplication of these measures, that is:

$A = wl$

The length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and one.

This means that $l = w+1$ , or $w = l - 1$

The area direct angle 72 units. What’s the length, in units, of the rectangle

We want to find the length. So

$wl = 72$

$(l-1)l = 72$

$l^2 - l - 72 = 0$

Quadratic equation with $a = 1, b = -1, c = -72$ . So

$\bigtriangleup = (-1)^{2} - 4(1)(-72) = 289$

$l_{1} = \frac{-(-1) + \sqrt{289}}{2*(1)} = 9$

$l_{2} = \frac{-(-1) - \sqrt{289}}{2*(1)} = -8$

Since the length is a positive measure, the length of the rectangle is of 9 units.
