The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 236 what is the smaller integer

1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is 117

x + y = 236
y = x + 2
x + x + 2 = 236
2x = 236 - 2
2x = 234
x = 234/2
x = 117

y = 117 + 2
y =119

Both are odd integers and 117 is smaller.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span> $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
