Consecutive odd numbres are 2 apart
they numbers are x and x+2
square of first plus 3 times 2nd is 24
first is x
2nd is x+2

x²+3(x+2)=24
easy
x²+3x+6=24
minus 24 both sides
x²+3x-18=0
factor
(x+6)(x-3)=0
set to ezr
x+6=0
x=-6
false, this is even
x-3=0
x=3
x+2=5

the numbers are 3 and 5
9+15=24, yah

3 and 5 are numbers

So your equation would be (x)squared + 3(x+2) = 24
simplify:
xsq + 3x + 6 = 24
xsq + 3x - 18 = 0
if we broke this down into multiplication, one of the multiplying factors would have to equal zero since the whole now equals 0 so,
(x+6)(x-3) = 0
so, x+6 = 0, or x-3 = 0
solve:
x = -6, or 3

then just choose the odd one

In a circle, chords ST and RA intersect at Y such that SY is perpendicular to RY. The value of mSA + mRT is: a. 90º b. 180º c. 2

pshichka [43]

Answer:

a. 90º

Explanation:

The chords ST and RA intesect at Y, so that SY is now perpendicular to RY and they form an angle 90 degrees at that point. However angles mSA and mRT are both at the circumference of the circle(a chord is a line from point of a circle's circumference to the other) and are both 90 degrees because angle at the circumference is half of angle at the centre in same arc.

The meat department of a local supermarket packages ground beef using meat trays of two sizes: 1 designed to hold 1 lb of meet a

Answer:

c) 0.932

99% confidence interval for average weights of all packages sold in small meat trays.

(0.932 ,1.071)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given random sample of 35 packages in small meat trays produced weight with an average of 1.01 lbs. and standard deviation of 0.18 lbs.

size of the sample 'n' = 35

mean of the sample x⁻= 1.01lbs

standard deviation of the sample 'S' = 0.18lbs

<u>The 99% confidence intervals are given by</u>

$(x^{-} - t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} +t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )$

The degrees of freedom γ=n-1 =35-1=34

tₐ = 2.0322

99% confidence interval for average weights of all packages sold in small meat trays

$(1.01 - 2.0322 \frac{0.18}{\sqrt{35} } , 1.01+2.0322 \frac{0.18}{\sqrt{35} } )$

( 1.01 - 0.06183 , 1.01+0.06183)

(0.932 ,1.071)

<u>Final answer</u>:-

<u>99% confidence interval for average weights of all packages sold in small meat trays.</u>
