Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.
Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.
x + x + 2 = -36
2x + 2 = -36
2x = -38
x = -19
The smaller one of the two integers is -19.
x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17
The greater of the two integers is -17.
Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

Explanation:
The value of 7 in 75 is 70.
The value of 7 in 7.5 is 7
Now, we must find how many time 7 goes into 70
70/7 = 10
This means that The value of 7 in 75 is 10 times the value in 7.5
I hope I helped!

There are 5 quarters and 3 dimes.
Let's illustrate it as 
Now adding 5 quarters and 5 dimes, we get 
.
5/3 is not equal to 10/8 hence it no longers has the ratio of 5:3 but now has the ratio of 5:4
Hi there!
We can split into factors using the "guess and check" method.
Factors are in the format of:
(ax + b)(cx + d), where in this instance:
a · c = 2
bc + da = 5
b · d = 3
Thus, we get:
(2x + 3)(x + 1)
