Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Her monthly paycheck was 120 dollars, because thats how much she earned that month. If she saved 48 dollars, then the percentage of the paycheck she saved is the percent of 120 that is 48 dollars, or 48/120. Simplifying, we have 2/5, (because you can divide both the top and the bottom by 24), and 2/5 is equal to 40%
Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
First, simplify the (x+2)(x+2) with FOIL:
f(x)=(
)-3
Combine like terms
f(x)=
Then you have standard form.
Hope that helps.
