Odd numbers by definition are 2k + 1

Consecutive odd numbers will be
2k + 1 and 2k + 3

Formulating the equation from the question

(2k + 1 + 2k + 3) = 6(2k+1) -2

4K + 4 = 12k + 6 -2
4= 8k + 4
K = 0

Therefore first odd number is 2k + 1 = (2 x 0) + 1 = 1

Second odd number is 2k + 3 = (2 x 0) + 3 = 3

The two numbers are 1 and 3

Answer:

1, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1st number = x

2nd number = x+2

x+x+2=6x-2

2x+2=6x-2

4=4x

x=1

so the first number is 1 and the second number is 3.

CHECK: The sum of one and three is four, which is two less than six times one.

What is another way to write the equation 7/8 x+ 3/4 = -6
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  1) 7(x/8) + 3/4 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The term (7/8)x can be written as 7(x/8).

_____

The associative and commutative properties of multiplication let you put the factors (7)(1/8)(x) in any order or grouping you like.

Here, instead of (7·1/8)·x, the question is offering the rewrite 7(1/8·x), a straightforward application of the associative property.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15% off represents percentage discount. The relationship between percentage discount and total cost is given by the equation;

Actual cost - (Percentage discount) Actual cost = Total cost

The correct options are;

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) 0.85 = 0

(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) - 0.15(29.99 + 18.65 + 32.59) = 0
