We need to understand how to set up the equation to solve this. If they are consecutive odd integers, that means they're two odd numbers that are next to each other, like 3 and 5 or 27 and 29. There's always a two-integer difference between the two numbers since they're both odd, so we'll use that to set up our equation. Let's make the smaller integer x. That will make the larger integer x+2, since there is a difference between them of 2. That means our equation is x+x+2=284 or 2x+2=284. When we subtract 2 from each side and then divide by two, we'll get x=141, the first integer. That means the two integers are 141 and 143.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Car: 18.4% Other: 4.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Glenn family yearly total expenses are

\$8,600+\$4,800+\$5,400+\$2,400+\$7,000+\$1,800=\$30,000

Other expenses are $7,000.

The payments for the new car are: $375.00 per month and the insurance for the new car $85.00 per month, in total, $460 per month. Yearly expenses for car are

\$460\cdot 12=\$5,520

Now, the expenses for the following two categories are

Car - $5,520

Other - $7,000 - $5,520 = $1,480

Percentage:

Car:

\dfrac{5,520}{30,000}\cdot 100\%=18.4\%

Other

\dfrac{1,480}{30,000}\cdot 100\%\approx 4.93\%

The value of x is? What is the value of x in this problem?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x=96°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the upper left angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find the first angle of the triangle by

180-130=50

For the bottom right angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find that angle by

180-134=46

As a triangle has 180 degrees, we can subtract the values of the other two angles to find the final upper right angle.

180-50-46=84

Lastly, The upper right angle and x are supplementary so we can find x by subtracting the angle from 180

180-84=x\\x=96
