The question gives us that the sum of two consecutive odd integeres is 244, and we are asked to find the value of the smaller integer. Well, we can first assign the variable x to the smaller integer, and the variable y to the larger odd integer.
x = smaller odd integer
y = larger odd integer
The question says that the sum of two <u>consecutive</u> odd integers is 244. This means that if x is an odd integer, the next odd integer can be expressed as x + 2. This means that the value of y is x + 2. Next, we can create an equation modeling the problem.
x + y = 244
x + (x + 2) = 244
x + x + 2 = 244
2x + 2 = 244
2x = 242
x = 121
Therefore, the value of the smaller integer is 121, and the value of the larger integer is 121 + 2 = 123. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!
The answer should be 22.5
Answer: 600 bushels of 10% alcohol content and 400 bushels of 15% alcohol content.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let we add x quantity of 10% of alcohol content and y quantity of 15% alcohol content for making 12% of alcohol content mixture.
Then according to the question, 10% of x + 15 % of y = 12% of 1000
⇒ 0.1x + 0.15y = 120
⇒ 10x + 15y = 1200
⇒ 2x +3y = 2400 -------- (1)
And, x + y = 1000
⇒ 2x + 2y = 2000 ---------(2)
Equation 1) - equation 2)
We get y = 400
By putting the value of y in equation 1),
⇒2x + 1200 = 2400
⇒ 2x = 1200
⇒ x = 600
Thus, he needs to mix 600 bushel of 10% of alcohol content with 400 bushels of 12% of alcohol content for getting 1000 bushels of 12% of alcohol content.
None of the above.
The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes meet. An altitude is the line from one vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.
