The equation in terms of x is x(x + 2) = 99 or x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

The pairs of integers are  -11 and -9 or 9 and 11

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2

Let "x" be the smallest integer

Given that product of two consecutive odd integers is 99

To find: an equation in terms of  x

Product of x and x + 2 = 99

x(x + 2) = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x = 99\\\\x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0

Thus the equation in terms of x is found

Let us solve the above equation to find all pairs of integers

Solve the quadratic equation by grouping method

Middle term 2x can be written as 11x - 9x

\rightarrow x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + 11x - 9x -99 = 0

Now group the terms,

\rightarrow (x^2 + 11x) - (9x + 99) = 0

Take "x" as common term from first group and 9 as common term from second group

\rightarrow x(x + 11)-9(x+ 11) = 0

Now take x + 11 as common term,

\rightarrow (x + 11)(x - 9) = 0

Equating to zero we get,

x + 11 = 0 or x - 9 = 0

x = -11 or x = 9

<em><u>When x = -11 :</u></em>

x + 2 = -11 + 2 = -9

Thus first set of two consecutive odd integers are -11 and -9

<em><u>When x = 9 :</u></em>

x + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

Thus second set of two consecutive odd integers are 9 and 11

A man walks 10 km, then travels a certain distance by train and then by bus as far as twice by the train. If the whole journey i
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The man traveled 20km by train.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the distance he traveled by train, you can write this equation to represent the situation:

10+x+2x=70

Then, you can simply solve for x:

10+3x=70\\3x=60\\x=20

The man traveled 20km by train.

10+(20)+2(20)=70\\10+20+40=70\\70=70

22 fl oz=how many cups and fl oz
igomit [66]
1 cup = 8 fl oz.

So then we can set up a ratio of \sf \frac{fluid ~ounces}{cups}

So we get:

\sf\frac{8~ fl. oz.}{1 ~cup} =  \frac{22 ~fl. oz.}{x~ cups}

We cross multiply and we try to solve for x, so:

\sf 8~fl.~oz. \times x ~cups = 1~cup \times 22~fl.~oz.

\sf x~cups =  \frac{22~fl.oz.}{8~fl.oz.}

And the fl. oz. cancel out, and we are left with:

\sf x~cups =  \frac{22}{8} =  \frac{11}{4} = 2 \frac{3}{4}

<u>So 22 fl. oz. equals to 2 3/4 cups.</u>
