Answer:

9 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:Let the 2 consecutive odd integers be n and n+2.

n(n + 2) = 99

Solve for n.

n2 + 2n - 99 = 0

(n + 11)(n - 9) = 0 ⇒

Two solutions:

n = -11

n + 2 = -9

and

n = 9

n + 2 = 11

Twenty-one boys and eight girls go on a camping trip. In how many ways can a group of six be selected to gather firewood, given

lorasvet [3.4K]

(a) there are 8C2 = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are 21C4 = 5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b = 28 * 5985 = 167,580

(b) at least 2 girls means combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or
6 girls.

2g/4b = 167,580 ways
3g/3b = 8C3 * 21C3 = 56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b = 8C4* 21C2 = 70 * 210 = 14,700
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 = 56*21 = 1176
6 girls = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is 257,964
