Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
You add the Kalil's monthly salary (3,250) to his sales (51,000), then multiply 1.4% ( as a percent: 0.014)
The equation for this problem is
3,250 + 51,000 (0.014)
54,250 (0.014)
3,964
First, you should combine the x terms:
-3x - 7 = 29
Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.
-3x = 22
Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.
x = -22/3 or -7.33
Answer:
120th caller
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows,
$100 bill = 30th caller
Movie tickets = 40th caller
So, to find out first to win both prizes, we will use LCM method,
LCM of 30 and 40 = 10 | 30 , 40
| 3 , 4
LCM of 30 and 40 = 10 × 3 × 4 = 120
Hence, 120th caller will be the first to win both prizes.
