3^2 = 9 = 4+5
5^2 = 25 = 12+13
work:
If you want to write an odd number as the sum of two consecutive integers, just subtract 1 then divide by 2 and you'll get the first integer.
Like with 25: first subtract 1 and get 24. Then divide by 2 and get 12. So the integers are 12 and 13.
Answer:
12 people can fit so the van had enough sests
4 2/3 into improper fracking would be 14/3 now times 3 , 3 and 3 go into 1 so your left with 24 so THATS the answer in other words it would be 42/3 which goes into 14 times:)
We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.
Then 11x=33, and x = 3.
Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or
6:12:15.
Do these 3 ages add up to 33? 6 + 12 + 15 = 33? YES!
The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.
