As consecutive odd numbers differ by two (example: 3, 5, 7), the first odd number can be expressed as 2n + 1, the next can be found by adding two to the first to get 2n + 1 + 2 which simplifies to 2n + 3. Finally the expression for the third consecutive odd integer can be found by adding two to the previous, 2n + 3, to get 2n + 5. Adding these three together and setting them equal to your sum gets the equation
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 63
Combine like terms and solve For n.
Once you have n, you must substitute it back into your three expressions (2n + 1, 2n + 3, 2n + 5) to find the three odd integers.
Hope this helps :)
Hi there! An equation for this problem would look something like
12d=75
Since the farmer can harvest 12 acres per day, the variable d represents days. 12 times the number of days it would take to harvest the field would equal 75.
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportional relationship is a relationship that crosses through the origin or (0,0). This means the slope of the line can be found by subtracting the points (12,16) and (0,0) in the slope formula.
So the slope is 4/3 and must be the value between any two points on the line.
This means the function moves from (0,0) to (1, 4/3).
Answer:
-4 ± 2√6
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewritten in standard quadratic form, x^2+8x-2=18 becomes x^2 + 8x - 20 = 0.
Here the quadratic coefficients are a = 1, b = 8 and c = -20 and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 8^2 - 4(1)(-20), or 96.
Because the discriminant is positive, we know that this quadratic has two different real roots. These roots are:
-b ± √(b² - 4ac)
x = -------------------------
2a
which in this case comes out to:
-8 ± √96 -8 ± 4√6
x = ------------------ = ------------------- = -4 ± 2√6
2 2
The answer is 1/6
Which is 1 over 6
