Answer:

First number: -39

Second number: -37

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd number can be written as 2n+1 where n is a whole number.

Let's call our first number 2n+1.

Our second, consecutive number will be 2 more than our first number, since it has to be odd. All numbers go: odd -> even -> odd -> even. If we have an odd number, and add 2, we'll get the next odd number.

First number: 2n+1

Second number: 2n+1+2 = 2n+3

The sum of these two numbers, 2n+1 and 2n+3 will be -76.

(2n+1) + (2n+3) = -76

2n + 2n + 1 + 3 = -76

4n + 4 = -76

4n = -80

n = -20

Since our first number is 2n+1:

2 * (-20) + 1 = -40 + 1 = -39

First number: -39

Our second number is 2n+3, or 2 more than our first number.

-39 + 2 = -37

Second number: -37

We can double check this:

-39 + (-37) = -39 - 37 = -76

The next step is : We Cross Multiply

x = $24 × $9/2

x = $108

Therefore, she will invest in $108 company A if she invests $24 in company B.

Solve the system of equations 5x-2y=88 3x+4y=58 show all work
diamong [38]
The given equations are:

5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y =  58

Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:

10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58

Adding the two equations, we get:

10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x =  18

Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:

5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1

So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)

the area of a rectangular volleyball court is 1800 square feet the courts length is twice it width write a system of equations t
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular volleyball court are 60 ft x 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of rectangular volleyball court

y ---> the width of the rectangular volleyball court

we know that

The area of the rectangular volleyball court is equal to

A=xy

A=1,800\ ft^2

so

1,800=xy ----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

1,800=(2y)y

1,800=2y^2

Solve for y

Simplify

900=y^2

take square root both sides

y=30\ ft

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=2y

substitute the value of y

x=2(30)=60\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the rectangular volleyball court are 60 ft x 30 ft
