Find two consecutive odd integers such that their product is 23 more than 5 times their sum.

If x is the smaller one, and is odd, the next consecutive odd integer is x+2.

x(x+2) = 23 + 5(x+ (x+2))

x^2 + 2x = 23 +5(2x+2)

x^2 + 2x = 23 + 10x + 10

x^2 -8x - 33 = 0

(x-11)(x+3) = 0

x = 11\textrm{ or }x=-3

Check:

11(13) = 143

23 + 5(11 + 13) = 23 + 120 = 143, check

-3(-1) = 3

23 + 5(-3 + -1) = 3, check

Answer: 11,13 or -3,-1

7. Marco is making beaded bracelets. Each
stiks02 [169]

One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.

8 = 2 x 2 x 2

Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.

2: three occurrences

3: one occurrence

So, our LCM should be

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.

So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.

Answer:   Suppose we have four ants, initially at rest, at the four corners of a square centered at the origin. They start walking clockwise, each ant walking directly toward the one in front of him. Suppose also that each ant walks with unit velocity, derive a differential equation that describes the trajectories.
