Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99

1 answer:

8 0

Let x be the first odd number.

Second odd number will be x+2

Proof:

If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.

So,

(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0

So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11

How do I slove 4/5 - 8/15

Reika [66]

The answer is 4/15, because we have to get the denominaters to be the same, so the LCM of 5 and 15 is 15, so 15/5 is 3 and 4*3 is 12. Now, its 12/15-8/15 which is 4/15. Hope this helps!

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: C. the base period amount.

Explanation: While implementing a horizontal analysis on a given income statement, we compute a percentage change in any individual item by dividing the dollar amount of change from base to current time period with the base period amount.

i.e. % Change in Individual item = $\frac{Current\ Dollar\ - Base\ Dollar }{Base \ period \ amount}$

Therefore, the correct option in this case is (c)
