Answer:
11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
an odd number can be represented by 2n+1
since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2
now,
2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15
solving this eqn, we get n = 5
so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
x² - 8x + 15 = 0
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides: x² - 8x = -15
- Complete the Square [Addition Property of Equality]: x² - 8x + 16 = -15 + 16
- [Complete the Square] Simplify: (x - 4)² = 1
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: x - 4 = ±1
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides: x = 4 ± 1
- Evaluate: x = 3, 5
2 1/4 = 9/4 so the reciprocal is 4/9 (I believe)
