Answer:

65 and 67

Step-by-step explanation:

we can represent even numbers as 2n where n is an integer

so odd integers can be represented as 2n+1

consecutive odd integers are 2 apart (like 1,3,5, etc)

so we can represent the 2 odd consecutive integers as 2n+1 and 2n+3

their sum is 132

(2n+1)+(2n+3)=132

expand

2n+1+2n+3=132

4n+4=132

minus 4 from both sides

4n=128

divide both sides by 4

n=32

the numbers are 2n+1 and 2n+3

2n=2*32=64

2n+1=64+1=65

2n+3=64+3=67

the 2 integers are 65 and 67

Answer:

65 and 67

Step-by-step explanation:

two consecutive odd numbers would look like this:

x and x + 2

this is because of how counting numbers works:

1  2  3  4  5  6  7

the consecutive numbers here would be 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.

if one number (x) was 1, the next number would be (x + 2) which is three. This formula will work for all consecutive odd numbers.

so, x + x + 2 = 132

2x + 2 = 132

      -2      -2

2x = 130

/2       /2

x = 65

the first number is x = 65

the second number is x + 2 which means this number is 65 + 2 = 67

(check: 65 + 67 = 132)

Find the sum 1/2 + 3/8
Stels [109]

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to find a common denominator, so first we find out 2 times how much equals 8? 2x4 = 8. So with 8 being our common denominator, we have to multiple 4 to every number in the fraction 1/2. So 1x4 = (4/8) = 2x4. Then you just add the top numbers, so 4 + 3 = 7 and keep the denominator. 7/8.

Yeah... I'm normal good at angles, but the way you've taken the picture, it's pretty hard for us to figure out. All you need to do is grab you protractor and start measuring. Pretty simple.<span />
