Answer:
The positive numbers are 51 and 53
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first odd integer be x and another odd integer is (x+2).
According to the given condition,
The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703 i.e.
x(x+2) = 2703
It is a quadratic equation. It can be solved as follows :
x = 51 and x = -53
Neglecting negative sign,
The first number = 51
Another number =(51+2) = 53
Hence, the positive numbers are 51 and 53.
Say x is the smaller of the two:
x/3=y/7
2x+3y=2700
solve and you get that
y=700, x=300
Huh?
You forgot something.
Answer:
36 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio being 24:8 can be simplified to 3:1
Multiply the one (the vinegar) by a factor of 12
What happens to one side has to happen to the other
12(3:1)
36 ounces.
First thing you would do is distribute the negative on the outside of the parentheses to the inside terms:
9x - 5x + 7 = 39
Now, combine like terms:
4x + 7 = 39
Subtract 7 from both sides to get variables on one side of the equal sign and constants on the other:
4x = 39 - 7
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable x.
x = 32 / 4
x = 8
