Answer:
A is the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
So what is the question just comment on this I can help
Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Answer:
Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.
<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>
<em />
"<u>3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms</u>":

and
"<u>9 large boxes and 7 small boxes has a total weight of 238 kilograms</u>":

<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>now,</em>
<em>
</em>
<em />
<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>
