X - y = 5,
x = 5 + y
substitute (x = 5 + y) into the first equation,
5 + y + 2y = -1
3y = -6
y = -2,
substitute y = -2 into (x - y = 5),
x + 2 = 5
x = 3

Hence, x = 3, y = -2

Kitty [74]

Let
x--------> the first <span>odd integer
x+2-----> </span>the second odd integer
x+4-----> the third odd integer

we know that
6(x+2)-2x=20+(x+2)+(x+4)
6x+12-2x=26+2x
4x-2x=26-12
2x=14
x=7

the answer is
the numbers are

Hey there please help me with this question

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 1 = 3 parts , thus

81 cm² ÷ 3 = 27 cm² ← value of 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 27 = 54 cm²

Area of A = 54 cm² and area of B = 27 cm²

The side of the original square = $\sqrt{81}$ = 9 cm

The width of both rectangles is 9 cm ( width remains unchanged after cut )

Thus

Rectangle A

9 × length = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )

length = 6 cm

Rectangle B

9 × length = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )

length = 3 cm

Rectangle A → length = 6 cm, width = 9 cm

Rectangle B → length = 3 cm , width = 9 cm
