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

angle EPF = angle DPG

=> 4x + 48deg = 7x

=> 3x = 48 deg

=> x = 16

=> angle EPF = 4(16) +48 = 112deg

Find the midpoint P(16,7) and Q(12, -3) With work.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(14, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂), 0.5(y₁ + y₂) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (16, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, - 3)

midpoint = [0.5(16 + 12), 0.5(7 - 3) ] = [0.5(28), 0.5(4) ] = (14, 2 )
